Short description
Circle packing is a method to visualize large hierarchical date using nested circles. Tangent circles represent the brother nodes at the same level. The different leves are shown by nested circles (2D) or nested cylinders (3D). An advantage of this algorithm is the good overview for large data sets and it is easy to make out groupings and structural relationships.
