Abstract

Visualizing hierarchical data is one of the core areas of information visualization. Most of these techniques focus on single hierarchies hierarchies with a single root element and a single path to each element. In contrast, this work focuses on the browsing of multi-hierarchies hierarchies with multiple roots or multiple paths per element. A radial focus+context display algorithm and interaction methods are introduced to explore such multi-hierarchical data. A series of examples demonstrate the effectiveness of our new visualization. Keywords: information visualization, focus+context, radial layout, hierarchical visualization
