1. A Computer implemented process for generating a detail-in-context presentation of a three-dimensional information representation comprising the steps of: a) selecting a object-of-interest in said information representation; b) selecting a viewpoint; c) selecting a source path path from said viewpoint to said object-of-interest; and d) displacing objects in said information representation away from said source path to locations within said information representation where substantially all display objects remain visible when viewed from said viewpoint and do not occlude said object-of-interest when viewed from said viewpoint, to thereby generate said detail in context presentations.
