Abstract

In many applications complex structured data have been used. Visualization of these data structures allows a user to get better insight both in the data structure and in the application itself. We present a visualization technique of structured data-oriented XML formats. Customizable visualization is done by means of tree rewriting. This allows for an efficient filtration and transformation of the document tree to fit particular user needs as well as a transformation to a structure with a predefined graphical interpretation. A graphical representation of the tree rewriting rules for an interactive manipulation is presented, so the system itself can be considered a graphical language. The graphical representation is based on tree maps.
