A system, method and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium used to control the display of a display device. Controlling of the display device includes receiving data including a plurality of data points, each of the data points including a value along a first axis and a value along a second axis, dividing the data into a plurality of bins along the first axis, wherein the data is divided based on a physical attribute of the display device, determining, for one of the bins, whether an alternative data representation should be used, and displaying a plot of the data, wherein the alternative data representation is used for the one of the bins when it is determined that the alternative data representation should be used, wherein line plotting is used for the one of the bins when it is determined that the alternative data representation should not be used.
