Abstract
Method and systems of visually depicting hierarchical data are provided. The hierarchical data includes data pertaining to a plurality of categories, the hierarchical data further including data pertaining to a plurality of subcategories of at least one of the plurality of categories. Multiple viewing regions may then be displayed simultaneously on a display, each viewing region depicting a different view of the hierarchical data, objects displayed in each viewing region being color-coded with a different color for each category, such that an object corresponding to a first category in a first viewing region is displayed in an identical color as an object corresponding to the first category in a second viewing region.
