5. Paper Comparison: Multiple Trees focus context

6. Accordion Drawing • rubber-sheet navigation • stretch out part of surface, the rest squishes • borders nailed down • Focus+Context technique • integrated overview, details • old idea • [Sarkar et al 93], [Robertson et al 91] • guaranteed visibility • marks always visible • important for scalability • new idea • [Munzner et al 03]

7. Guaranteed Visibility • marks are always visible • easy with small datasets 7

8. Guaranteed Visibility Challenges • hard with larger datasets • reasons a mark could be invisible

9. Guaranteed Visibility Challenges • hard with larger datasets • reasons a mark could be invisible • outside the window • AD solution: constrained navigation

10. Guaranteed Visibility Challenges • hard with larger datasets • reasons a mark could be invisible • outside the window • AD solution: constrained navigation • underneath other marks • AD solution: avoid 3D

11. Guaranteed Visibility Challenges • hard with larger datasets • reasons a mark could be invisible • outside the window • AD solution: constrained navigation • underneath other marks • AD solution: avoid 3D • smaller than a pixel • AD solution: smart culling

12. Guaranteed Visibility: Small Items Naïve culling may not draw all marked items GV no GV Guaranteed visibility of marks No guaranteed visibility
