Cheops: A Compact Explorer For Complex Hierarchies |
 | | In Cheops, if triangle 2 is selected, then triangle 5 will become node E. If triangle 3 is selected instead, then triangle 5 will become node F. The visual representation of each logical branch of a hierarchy is, therefore, a result of a specific deployment of the previous levels. |
 | | Also, since the Cheops representation takes up less screen space, it is possible to display structural information in conjunction with the description of the actual content of an visual object. |
 | | The Cheops pyramid, the slider and the choices were effectively three views and three controls on one single internal state and users found it somewhat difficult to integrate them into a whole. |
