Hyperbolic Trees: Pros & Cons

"Hyperbolic trees are very valuable to visualize hierarchical structures such as file directories, web sites, classification hierarchies, organization hierarchies, newsgroup structures, etc. While traditional methods such as paging (divide data into several pages and display one page at a time), zooming, or panning show only part of the information at a certain granularity, hyperbolic trees show detail and context at once."
