dc.description.abstract | Controlled experiments with novice treemap users and real data highlight the strengths of treemaps and provide direction for improvement. Issues discussed include experimental results, layout algorithms, nesting offsets, labeling, animation and small multiple displays. Treemaps prove to be a potent tool for hierarchy display. The principles discussed are applicable to many information visualization situations. (Also cross-referenced as CAR-TR-626) (Also cross-referenced as ISR-TR-92-62) | en_US |
