Abstract
Visualizing, e.g., the structure of a large software project, as a graph can be very confusing and ineffective. The reason can be the presence of countless overlapping arrows, which make a graph unclear and difficult to be interpreted by a human. To deal with this problem, we propose a new data visualization, namely pie tree visualization, which we illustrate on the architecture of a real-life example from the deploy project.
