Abstract
Tools and techniques are provided to visualize and manage data. A hierarchical pie chart is placed in operational correspondence with a hierarchical table. Slices of a pie chart level correspond to nodes of a table level. When a user causes a change in a node/slice, the software automatically performs a matching change in the corresponding slice/node. This occurs for operational changes such as selection, creation, deletion, expanding (zoom in, drill down), contracting, updating data, and changing a label. The path taken through the table to reach the present data breakdown may also be displayed.
