In this screen image a large rectangle is divided into a number of smaller rectangles, each with a label, and within each of those are a number of yet smaller rectangles varying in size. The smallest rectangles are coloured either red or green and in varying shades from bright to dark such that the whole available space is covered in a patchwork of red and green rectangles. Each rectangle has a label; some examples are: ‘Windows XP’, ‘Google’, ‘Microsoft Office’ and ‘Photoshop’. At the top of the window are various drop-down menus. Reading from left to right: Interval (currently showing Quarter); Compare (currently showing Previous year); Measure (currently showing Units); View (currently showing Category).
