Abstract

Display and navigation of diagrams play an important role in visual information processing, especially for visualising large scale information systems. Based on our analysis of various diagram display techniques, we have chosen a suitable display technique for the purpose of diagram navigation. We have aimed at automatic navigation of large diagrams. By reasoning and making inferences, based on the user´s clue set provided visually, a diagram is traversed following some navigation path. By combining diagram display and automatic navigation, a prototype system has been developed
