RINGS: A Technique for Visualizing Large Hierarchies
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present RINGS, a technique for visualizing large trees with hundreds of thousands of nodes. We introduce a new ringed circular layout of nodes to make more efficient use of limited display space. RINGS provides the user with the means to specify areas of primary and secondary focus, and is able to show multiple foci without compromising understanding of the graph. The user can also control the context shown. The strength of RINGS is its ability to show more area in focus and more contextual information than existing techniques using a fixed resolution display. We demonstrate the effectiveness of RINGS by applying it to the visualization of a Unix file directory.

Visualizing MeSH Dataset using Radial Tree Layout
Many display layout techniques were developed for the visualization of hierarchical data set like Cone tree, Treemap, Hyperbolic tree etc. Here, we present a new focus + context (fisheye) technique for visualizing and manipulating large hierarchies. We use the well knows radial tree layout method, in which focused node is placed in center of display, and all other nodes are rendered on appropri...
متن کاملImprovements of Space-Optimized Tree for Visualizing and Manipulating Very Large Hierarchies
This paper describes some improvements over the original Space-Optimized Tree technique for the visualization and manipulation of very large hierarchies. The new system uses an improved algorithm to calculate geometrical layouts and it also provides better navigation capability. We introduce our new layout algorithm that can make more consistence of the display than the original layout techniqu...
متن کاملInteracting with Huge Hierarchies: Beyond Cone Trees
This paper describes an implementation of a tool for visualizing and interacting with huge information hierarchies, and some preliminary empirical evaluation of the tool’s efficacy. Existing systems for visualizing huge hierarchies using cone trees ‘‘break down” once the hierarchy to be displayed exceeds roughly 1000 nodes, due to increasing visual clutter. This paper describes a system called ...
متن کاملThe Hyperbolic Browser: A Focus + Context Technique for Visualizing Large Hierarchies
We present a new focus ϩ context technique based on hyperbolic geometry for visualizing and manipulating large hierarchies. Our technique assigns more display space to a portion of the hierarchy while still embedding it in the context of the entire hierarchy. We lay out the hierarchy in a uniform way on a hyperbolic plane and map this plane onto a display region. The chosen mapping provides a f...
متن کاملSupervised graph summarization for structuring academic search results
In this paper we address the problem of visualizing the query results of the academic search services. We suggest representing the search results as concise topic hierarchies, and propose a method of building such hierarchies through summarization of the intermediate large topic graphs. We describe a supervised learning technique for summarizing the topic graphs in the most informative way usin...
