摘要: There is disclosed a method and system for presenting hierarchical objects in linear view, which each open container object split into pair of bracketing ends, the ends brackering therebetween any lower level contained object. A multi-level arrangement may be represented by multiple pairs such arranged nested configuration. Both configured with navigation control to close corresponding The view placed either horizontal orientation or vertical orientation, depending on nature data. visual characteristic used identify distinguish between levels within view. To make more efficient use available screen space, dynamically collapsible.
