....nodes are equally important to the leaf nodes and must be displayed in the same meaningful way. Approaches like tree maps which basically display leaf nodes fall short in this respect. Various 3D approaches were developed to display larger hierarchies or reduce visual clutter, such as cone trees [12] and augmented solutions. Some of them are based on 2D tree layouts, like the information cube [11] Other problems occur with 3D visualizations, like object occlusion, difficult view adjustment [4] performance problems, or bad readability of 3D texts [8] We took these problems into ....

....edge in a graph is aligned to one of the three cartesian axes. This approach is inherently limited to at most six connected graphs (those in which each vertex is connected to no more than six other vertices) Other alternatives for specific types of graphs have also been introduced: Cone trees [Robertson et al. 1991, Carriere and Kazman, 1995] which display cones in a 3D space branching from each node to its children, and 3D hyperbolic drawings [Munzner and Burchard, 1995, Munzner, 1997] in which leaf nodes of a directed graph are placed on the surface of a sphere, and the visualisation for the graph built ....

....provides greater detail for items closer to the viewpoint and less detail for items further away. Variants of the perspective wall provide focus context in two dimensions [27] 30] Perspective distortion also plays a role in the cone trees visualization of hierarchical database information [31]. Fish eye lens techniques are based on fish eye camera lenses, which greatly magnify objects at the centre of the field of view, with a continuous fall off in magnification towards the edges. Degree of interest (DOI) values determine the level of detail to be displayed for each data item, and ....

ConeTree: Figure 9 shows a simple ConeTree that is a method of 3 D visualization of hierarchical structure [7]. This object is composed of two 1 D rotation constraining primitives, two cones and twelve spheres. Our system is also useful for rapid prototyping of 3 D user interface components.

....as smaller boxes within a larger box representing the parent or higher node that contains it. This process is then carried out recursively, dividing the smaller nodes according to their child nodes and so on. The original IV tree hierarchy visualisation was Cone Trees by Mackinlay et al. in 1991 [150], developed as part of the Information Visualizer paradigm at Xerox PARC [31] A tree structure is displayed in three dimensions in an attempt to increase the number of nodes that can be presented on screen, as shown in Figure 2.1. Groups of links emanating from a particular node to its child ....

....such a task should therefore benefit from mirroring a set based metaphor on screen. Andrews Information Pyramids [6] is an example of a visualisation that distinguishes leaf and internal nodes visually in a 2.5D Treemap style visualisation. Other hierarchy visualisations, such as Cone Trees [150], do not distinguish between the two types of nodes even when dealing with structures such as files and directories. Alternatively, trees that show navigation routes such as Huangs web browsing visualisation [89] have no such organisational distinction to draw on. Leaf nodes indicate the same ....

....The overall visual effect is one of groups and super groups of leaf nodes, and therefore we term the display a set based visualisation , as shown in Figure 1. The visualisation is a compromise between the traditional node link diagrams found in techniques such as Robertson et al. s Cone Trees [4] and the enclosurebased approach of visualisations such as Johnson and Shneiderman s TreeMaps [5] The visualisation style combines the node link display s ability to easily determine internal tree structures and the space efficient layout of enclosure methods. Layouts similar in approach, but ....

....to the more general field of information visualization. This problem has received considerable attention in recent years both for visualizing graphs and hierarchical structures and for displays for data mining. Significant work in developing information visualizations has been done at Xerox PARC [13,23], SGI, and elsewhere. We make use of this work by incorporating the visual metaphors into our generic back end visualization engine. The Visage system represents a more general approach that, like ours, attempts to combine data specification, browsing, and visualization in an easyto use framework ....

....provide a wide range of visualization strategies. Previous experience indicated that abstract representations such as those provided by Seesoft [5] or the memory visualizations of FIELD provide more information in a limited space than do graphs. The experiences of the Xerox information visualizer [13,24] demonstrated that using the third dimension can increase the amount of information that can be presented effectively by about a factor of ten. We developed an extensible visualization framework addresses these issues [21] The third component of our solution, the Cacti system, is a powerful ....

....data structure for cartographic objects. Paper read at 17th International Cartographic Conference ICC 95, at Barcelona, Spain. The approach extends ideas of hierarchies or pyramids and is related to quad tress [21, 22] and strip trees [2] but tries to generalize the hierarchical concept [18, 20] to include object representations of different dimension. The resulting dag structure is more complex than the hierarchical structures proposed in the literature so far, as objects may change their appearance completely. For example they change their spatial dimension, or change from a single ....

....multiple techniques. In contrast case studies in information visualiza tion in general developed bespoke representations. Few seem to offer the level of compositionality or reuse achieved in scientific applications. For example, the structure of a file system can be visualised using a cone tree [Robertson et al. 1991]; but few tree visual ization systems provide facilities to compose this kind of representation with another that captures proper ties such as creation time, modification time, and or file size. And where such capabilities do exist, it is likely that they are tightly bound to the specific ....

....graph structure with a schematic form. Although the implementation described in [Herman et al. 1999] uses a 2D represen tation of a graph, the general idea could be extended to a 3D representation (at least for trees) as follows: Visualise the tree structure using the cone tree representation [Robertson et al. 1991]; Calculate a metric for each node of the tree, and interpret this metric as a field strength; Visualise the field around the tree (or those subtrees whose metric value is above a threshold) using an iso surface extraction algorithm, and superimpose this over the tree representation. ....
