description Disclosed is a method of displaying a hierarchical file structure. The method determines a visual arrangement ( 100 ) of containers ( 102 ) which reflects a hierarchical relationship of the file structure. A concentric curved shape is then formed representing each container in the file structure and files within the containers, the curved shape having a geometry and location according to the determined visual arrangement. A viewpoint ( 600 ) is then established for the curved shape which is substantially radial thereto and allows viewing from a root container of the file structure towards one or more child containers of the file structure. The curved shape is then rendered, relative to the viewpoint, to a display ( 2114 ). Desirably, the files within a container ( 102 ) are represented as a tower ( 104 ) in the curved shape.
