Area partition: The centroids of sub-collections are used to partition the polygon representing the parent collection into polygonal sub-areas. The size of each sub-area is related to the total number of documents contained within the corresponding sub-collection. Area partition is accomplished using modified, weighted [Voronoi diagrams].
