1. A computer-implemented method, said computer including a processor and having a graphical display that includes at least one object that is associated with data, said method comprising: splitting said graphical display into a left area forming a left rectangle, a center area forming a center rectangle, and a right area forming a right rectangle; displaying a star schema in said graphical display by displaying dimension objects including dimension tables that include attribute data in said left area, a facts object including a facts table that includes measurement data in said center area, and additional dimension objects including dimension tables that include attribute data in said right area and by displaying connecting lines across said rectangles in the graphical display to illustrate associations between said facts object and said dimension objects, wherein said objects in each area are manipulated independently of said other objects in said each area and said objects in each other area; accepting input that enlarges said at least one object in one area, wherein said at least one object is one of said dimension objects and facts objects; and in response to enlarging said at least one object in said one area: enlarging said display of said one area that includes said enlarged at least one object; realigning vertically and horizontally other objects within said enlarged area relative to said enlarged at least one object in said enlarged area; moving said display of said each other area including at least one object that is not included in said enlarged area to create more space on the graphical display for said enlarged area, thereby enabling efficient analysis of said data associated with said at least one object that is included in said enlarged area; and realigning said objects in said each other area with the realigned other objects within said enlarged area, wherein positions of said objects in said each other area are adjusted in at least one of a horizontal direction and a vertical direction to accommodate alignment of said other objects within said each other area.
