Abstract: Rendering vast amounts of information on the relatively small screens has become increasingly problematic. Various Focus+Context visualization techniques have been proposed to address these problems. While some of these techniques have provided good results with the various visualization techniques, only a few methods can provide an intuitive and flexible interaction manner for visualization. This paper presented a method which allowed the user to specify an arbitrary polygon for the focus area. A welldesigned energy model was proposed to preserve the details in the focused area. To reduce the distortion in the context region, a glue area can also be specified by the user. This distributes the distortion in the focused area to the other region by propagating the deformation energy smoothly. A number of experimental results have demonstrated that the proposed method can largely improve the visualization effects and help users understand much more information on small screens.
