ABSTRACT
This paper describes hierarchical Flip Zooming, a focus+context visualization technique for hierarchical information sets. It allows for independent focus+context views at each node of the hierarchy and enables parallel exploration of different branches of the hierarchy. Visualization, navigation and interaction in the Flip Zooming technique is described as well as how the technique fits into existing models of information visualization. Examples of applications using the technique are given.

Focus+context visualization with flip zooming and the zoom browser
CHI EA '97: CHI '97 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsFlip zooming is a novel focus+context technique for visualizing large data sets. It offers an overview of the data, and gives users instant access to any part. Originally developed for visualizing large documents, the method might be adapted for ...
Angular Brushing of Extended Parallel Coordinates
INFOVIS '02: Proceedings of the IEEE Symposium on Information Visualization (InfoVis'02)In this paper we present angular brushing for parallel coordinates (PC) as a new approach to highlighting rational data-properties, i.e., features which in a non-separable way depend on two data dimensions. We also demonstrate smooth brushing as an ...
Voronoi Treemaps
INFOVIS '05: Proceedings of the Proceedings of the 2005 IEEE Symposium on Information VisualizationTreemaps are a well-known method for the visualization of attributed hierarchical data. Previously proposed Treemap layout algorithms are limited to rectangular shapes, which causes problems with the aspect ratio of the rectangles as well as with ...
