Abstract
A method and structure for the display of categorical information on a display screen utilizes visual factors such as scale and location to express the degree of importance of a particular category over other categories of categorical information with respect to a selected measurement value. Categorical information is displayed primarily based on the selected measurement value of volume of programming or frequency of use at any given time.
