Abstract
A graphical display of live market data on more than 600 publicly traded companies. The Map uses an innovative technique of information visualization to create a complex mosaic that provides an overview of market activity at a glance. (...) A new algorithm lets an existing visualization technique, the treemap, scale more effectively. The resulting transparent view of the market has been widely adopted by financial institutions and investors. (Martin Wattenberg)
