ABSTRACT:
A method for displaying a n-ary tree graph (30) on a display screen (100) is disclosed. The method comprises a first step of dividing the display screen (100) into one or more equally sized portions, a second step of displaying in said display screen portions at most one node (10) of said n-ary tree graph (30) and a third step of displaying in the same display portion as the node (10), the child nodes (20) of said node (10) of said n-ary tree graph (30). On the display screen (100), symbols (120, 140) corresponding to said node (10) or said child nodes (20) are displayed in the top left hand corners of the display screen portions. These symbols may incorporate visual clues (`no more room`) to indicate that said child nodes (20) themselves have child nodes (i.e. grandchild nodes) which cannot be displayed and visual clues (`no more room`) to indicate that said child nodes (20) have siblings which cannot be displayed.
