Abstract:
1. A method for facilitating adjusting a displayed representation of a visualization, the method comprising: receiving a visualization including a plural of nodes each having a first size and spacing therebetween configured to allow the visualization to be contained within a region of a display; providing a first mechanism for facilitating adjusting the spacing between the plural nodes of the visualization by a first factor independent of adjusting the first size of each of the plural of nodes and providing a signal indicative of the first factor in response thereto, wherein the plural nodes include leaf nodes; and employing a second mechanism to display an updated visualization in response to the signal, wherein spacing between plural nodes of the updated visualization is adjusted relative to the visualization based on the signal, such that a region defined by a group of leaf nodes, whose spacing therebetween has been adjusted, is shrunk or enlarged based on the first factor.
