Abstract

In this paper, we describe a new visualisation method for hierarchical clustering named "stacked trees". Our goal is to display, at the same time, the relational structure of the top classes of a tree and a large number of information about its leaves. Thanks to this approach, one can visualize on a standard screen a dendrogram containing ten of thousands of nodes. Although this method has been imagined to explore the content of molecular libraries in chemoinformatic, our approach is generic enough to be used in many other domains. A prototype named STV (Stacked Trees Viewer) has been implemented as a Web application that is freely usable from our Web site.
