Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technology for displaying a network diagram by a method remarkably facilitating visual interpretation by a user. SOLUTION: The focus and the context of information included in one or more network diagrams can be displayed on one display. According to one embodiment of this application, an object node explicitly selected by a user or apocalyptically selected by an algorithm is popped up, and expanded and/or brightened; and resultantly made to be seen closer for the user as compared with other nodes. Thereby, a method for discriminating the nodes from remaining parts of the network is provided, and a focus/context chart can be realized. That is, the object node (focus) is displayed by using the remaining parts of the network diagram as a background (context). COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI
