Short Description

...The essence of this scheme is to lay out the hierarchy in a uniform way on a hyperbolic plane and map this plane onto a circular display region. This supports a smooth blending between focus and context, as well as continuous redirection of the focus...

Suitable Datatypes

This visualization method can be used on hierarchies. With its characteristics the method is especially suitable for the visualization and manipulation of large hierachical data.

Figures

The Circle Limit IV 1960 woodcut in black and ocre, printed from 2 blocks by Maurits Cornelis Escher (1898-1972) was the original inspiration for the hyperbolic browser.
