Problem with visualization of a big network

[Luis]

Have you thought of setting a global whereby the size of the objects are 
stored? This way you can 'magnify' in and out by changing the height and 
width properties of the objects.
Another way is to explore the SVG rendering in Revolution, though I 
can't find any reference to that in the docs: This presents the images 
as vectors, which would be easy enough to scale.
Other than that, you could group similar objects together, with maybe 
like a count plastered on top to show the number of items contained: On 
zooming in this would then open up the 'container' to show the 
individual items.

You could look at ZUI: Zooming User Interface 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zooming_User_Interface) for more 
assistance with this, there's links at the end of the page.

Good luck with that, I'm interested in visual representations, but with 
limited screen real estate you have to work round it, sometimes it 
brings in something new to the scene.

BTW: 800x600 is torturous! Any chance of upping that to at least 1024x768?

Cheers,

Luis.
