TL;DR

This paper describes a system for viewing and browsing graphs using a software analog of a fisheye lens and describes a more general transformation that allows global information about the graph to affect the view.

Cone Trees

This work describes one of these Information Visualtzaiion techniques, called the Cone Tree, which is used for visualizing hierarchical information structures, where the hierarchy is presented in 3D to make effective use of available screen space and enable visualization of the whole structure.

Computational GeometryAlgorithms for drawing graphs: an annotated bibliography

A bibliographic survey on algorithms whose goal is to produce aesthetically pleasing drawings of graphs is presented, a first attempt to encompass both theoretical and application-oriented papers from disparate areas.

The perspective wall

702 Citations1991Jock D. Mackinlay, George G. Robertson +1 more

This paper describes a technique called the Perspective W’aU for visualizing linear information by smoothly integrating detailed and contextual views that fold wide 2D layouts into intuitive 3D visualizations that have a center panel for detail and two perspective panels for context.

Behaviour and Information TechnologyData base navigation: an office environment for the professional

232 Citations1982Robert Spence, Mark Apperley

A new display technique which overcomes the classical “windowing” problem, and the use of natural dialogues utilizing simple actions such as pointing, gesturing, touching and spoken commands makes the scheme well suited to the professional person, who is most likely unwilling to learn complex command languages.

ACM Transactions on Information SystemsFractal views

59 Citations1995Hideki Koike

A new method for information display based on fractal theory is proposed, which provides fisheye-like views which integrate local details around the focal point and major landmarks further away and can be set flexibly.
