Multiple windows are used to represent different branches of a single tree structure. The user can select any tree node and choose “start new window” action. A visual link is attached from the parent node to the virtual root node of the new subtree window. Within each window, information is displayed in a more manageable manner. The subtrees can be merged back into the parent tree.
