Abstract:
This paper presents a fast focus+context viewing
technique for the navigation of classical hierarchical
layouts. In these layout techniques, only one dimension is
considerably important to the visualization. Based on this
property, we only consider one dimension of distortion of
views for browsing the hierarchical structures. We firstly
introduce briefly some information visualization
techniques. We then discuss the features, advantages and
limitations of layout and navigation of current classical
hierarchical layouts. We finally introduce our new
focus+context technique that is simple and fast for the
navigation and exploration of the classical hierarchical
layouts.
