This paper describes organizational tools and graphical interaction displays that are used to assist in data analysis. The graphical displays depict the hierarchical relationship among saved states from data analysis sessions as a tree. Each node on the tree represents a data analysis environment, which includes icons that indicate availability of plots and annotations, textual descriptions, and oral descriptions on cassette tape. A graphics work pad is used to select a data analysis environment from which the analysis is to proceed. Menus and information windows provide assistance in reviewing the analysis tree, input and retrieval of annotations, and the creation and retrieval of environments.
