Abstract

A method for filtering out nodes associated with hierarchical data structures is provided. The method may include generating node controllers on the hierarchical data structures. The method may include determining whether user actions are received on a first node controller, a second node controller, and a third node controller associated with the generated plurality of node controllers. The method may include filtering node levels associated with hierarchical data structures, and presenting the hierarchical data structures without the filtered out node levels. The method may include filtering out sibling nodes associated with the hierarchical data structures, and presenting the hierarchical data structures without the filtered out sibling nodes. The may further include reverse-collapsing first node levels and filtering out second node levels based on the reverse-collapsed first node levels, and presenting the hierarchical data structures without the filtered out second node levels.
