This work presents an approach for the visualization of hierarchical object models that is based on the notion of fisheye views. This concept can display local detail and global context of a view in the same diagram, thus allowing a user to navigate easily in hierarchical structures without offending the principle of abstraction. This work introduces the ideas behind the concept, illustrates the zooming mechanism, the algorithm for the implementation and a tool prototype. The work presented here is part of an effort to create a new object modeling method called ADORA that provides strong support for hierarchical composition and decomposition.
