This
is a demonstration of how the Fractal
and Fisheye View can be applied to the
Self-Organizing Map (SOM). Fractal View
is derived based on the fractal theory
by abstracting the displayed objects
as well as controlling the amount of
information displayed. The Fisheye View
is similar to the wide angle fisheye
camera. It magnifies objects that are
within focus and shrinks distant objects.
Instruction
Mouseover the
self-organizing map to view the
region document titles in the "Focused
Document Title" subsection.
Mouse left-click
sets the fractal view focus point.
Use the "Fractal
View Amount of Displayed" scrollbar
sets the amount of information to
be displayed according to the focus
point.
Mouse right-click
sets the fisheye view focus point.
Using the "Fisheye
View Scale" scrollbar to set
the degree of magnification.
Choose the radio
button to set the methods of fisheye
view transformation (cartesian or
polar)
