Représentation focus+contexte de listes hiérarchiques zoomables

Ordinary tree widgets do not make it easy to browse all the nodes of the hierarchy, thus reducing the performances for discovering or retrieving an object of interest. This paper presents a new visualization and interaction technique that tries to solve this problem by using a fish eye representation, semantic zooming and an interaction technique that is derived from Control menus. This technique makes it possible to browse the entire hierarchy by using a limited amount of mouse gestures.
