Zooming in one dimension can be better than two: an interface for placing search results in context with a restricted sitemap

摘要: The visualisation of large hierarchies without losing context is a difficult problem. Many interfaces have been developed for this, and many these use zooming, which sometimes combined with distortion view method such as fisheye lense. Most zoom in two dimensions, while others three dimensions. We present 2D interface realised the SGviewer tool zooms only one dimension. other dimension used to convey subtree depth. To demonstrate our interface, we apply it problem presenting search results. delivery results either site, or local file system often difficult. Often number matching pages files high. A typical approach weight relevance matches. An alternative can complement former some context, clustering at same time. show how be classified restricted sitemap.
