Abstract

This paper describes a viewport technique for use in the visualization of large graphs, e.g. UML component diagrams. This technique should help to work with complex diagrams (hundreds or thousands of components) by highlighting details of the important parts of the diagram and their related surroundings without losing the global perspective. To avoid visual clutter it uses clusters of interfaces and components.
