Visualising File-Systems Using ENCCON Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a new approach for visualising the file structures. Our technique uses an enclosure + connection (ENCCON) approach that provides an overall view of the entire file/directory hierarchy that gives a better understanding of the folder-folder and folder-file relationships, and therefore makes easier for the navigation. We firstly use the rectangular regions to present the folders. This allows the user to immediately percept the location, size (number of files contained) and other properties of any particular folder. To enrich the visual attributes of the file structure, we also use a nodelink diagram to present the “belonging” relationships. This “belonging” relationship includes folder-folder and folder-file relationships. We use a semantic zooming technique to enlarge the display of files and folders in a particular focused area. The animation is also accommodated in order to preserve the mental map [Bartram 1997] during the navigation.

متن کاملInformation Pyramids : A New Approach to Visualising Large Hierarchies
This paper presents work in progress on a new technique for visualising and manipulating large hierarchies. The Information Pyramids approach compactly visualises hierarchical structures in three dimensions using pyramid-like structures, which grow upwards as the hierarchy is descended. The technique is described in the context of our early experience with a prototype file system visualiser bas...

Program visualisation is an attractive way for understanding collaboration structures of complex distributed systems. By using the concepts of the Open Distributed Processing Reference Model (ODP-RM) as entities for visualisation, a multiview visualisation architecture is presented, which provides a large degree of flexibility in visualising the actions of an ODP system. The architecture has be...
