There has been great progress in detail-in-context visualization techniques for large trees relying on hyperbolic projections. The benefit of this viewing paradigm is the ability to view the entire structure of an arbitrarily large tree while simultaneously viewing local detail in context. However, current techniques require a circular drawing area, which wastes screen space and is often inconvenient for embedding within interfaces. It is possible to use a modified technique, which projects a tree's structure onto a surface which is hyperbolic in one dimension, rather than two as is normally the case. This allows the tree visualization component to be embedded within a rectangular area, while still showing an arbitrary amount of structure in one dimension. This is particularly useful for navigating large filesystems and the like with limited screen real estate. Using this projection, it is possible to view a directory structure with no need for a vertical scrollbar and little vertical screen space. Two techniques are presented, where perspective may or may not be utilized, depending upon the intended application.
