Abstract
A system and method for facilitating adjusting a displayed representation of a visualization. An example method includes displaying a first visualization that includes plural nodes; providing a first user option to specify a first node attribute; and stacking nodes of the first visualization based on the first node attribute, resulting in display of one or more stacks of nodes. In a more specific embodiment, one or more links connect one or more of the plural nodes to one or more other nodes of the plural nodes. The method further includes adjusting the first visualization to illustrate the one or more stacks of nodes, while preserving any links, resulting in display of a second visualization in response thereto. The step of adjusting further includes animating a transition between display of the first visualization and display of the second visualization.
