Description | Background | Technique
Displaying certain amounts of tabular data on the display of a computer screen in a lucid way can be seen as one of the motivations for developing this visualization. A spreadsheet can display a maximum of 660 cells at once on a 19 inch display (at cell size of 100 by 15 pixels, 82dpi). The Table Lens can comfortably manage about 30 times as many cells and can display up to 100 times as many cells in support of many tasks. The scale advantage is obtained by using a so-called focus+context or fisheye technique.
