ABSTRACT
This paper presents an interactive visualization toolkit for navigating and analyzing the National Science Foundation (NSF) funding information. Our design builds upon an improved 2.5D treemap layout and the stacked graph to contribute customized techniques for visually navigating and interacting with the hierarchical data of NSF programs and proposals. Furthermore, an incremental layout method is adopted to handle information on a large scale. The improved treemap visualization will help to visually analyze the static funding related data and the stacked graph is utilized to analyze the time-series data. Through these visual analysis techniques, research trends of NSF, popular NSF programs are quickly identified.

Treemaps and the Visual Comparison of Hierarchical Multi-Attribute Data
AVI '16: Proceedings of the International Working Conference on Advanced Visual InterfacesTreemaps have the desirable property of presenting overviews along with details of data and thus are of interest in visualizations of multi-attribute tabular data with attribute hierarchies. However, the original treemap algorithms and most subsequent ...
Linked treemap: a 3D treemap-nodelink layout for visualizing hierarchical structures
Special Issue: Data Viz VIHierarchical structures are present in many different areas of our daily life as well as in sciences. Visualization methods are quite commonly applied to support comprehension of the more complex structures. Nodelinks and treemaps are two widely spread ...
