Abstract
In one embodiment, a movable area, referred to as a 'lens,' on a graph display allows the user to preview the zoom level of the graph. When a node, line or other item in the graph is in the area of the lens, then the item can be shown at a different zoom level than rest of the graph. In particular embodiments, a heuristic algorithm can be used to dynamically determine the visual representation of a node when in the lens as unique from the depiction of the node when the node is outside of the lens. Operations can be made to the graph items within the lens such as adding, moving, deleting, or connecting items, etc. Other features are described.
