Abstract
Abstract A dynamic data display system and associated method of usage. A portion of a data feed is dynamically displayed, such as in spreadsheet format, on a main drawer D 0 that overlays a display screen. N additional drawers D 1 , D 2 , . . . , D N are positioned such that D 1 conditionally overlays D 0 , D 2 conditionally overlays D 1 , . . . , D N conditionally overlays D N−1 . N is at least 2. Each drawer D i (i=1, 2, . . . , N) is adapted to being opened or to being closed. A user command is directed to a first drawer of the N additional drawers, which causes content on a second drawer of the N additional drawers to be displayed in accordance with the user command.
