Hi Klaus,
Hmm, interesting layout but it is a bit difficult to answer this
question in abstract. Usually, we first think of a problem that we
want to visualize and then we think of the visualization. In this
case, you are asking for the other way around.
For example, in this situation you might feel compelled to fill all
the four boxes in the corners even if you do not need it to solve
your problem.
Is there any particular problem you would have in mind? Or would this
just be an exercise?
Cheers,
Doru

Gentlefolks,
I'm looking for applications which would benefit from maze
resolution. The picture attached can give you an impression. It has
4 collections of objects and 4 collections of relations (all can be
manipulated).
The large center area holds multiple documents (code, text, multi
media). Documents, objects and relations can be moved out of the
way if desired.
Resting the mouse over something tells you what it is.
When selecting a relation it highlights the objects which it can see.
Maze resolution can guarantee that no other non-empty relation
exists from top left to bottom right and also not from top right to
bottom left. So there can be nothing in the picture (nothing in the
image!) which is hidden from you. Objects can be relocated and can
actively help you to find another suitable location.
I post in the hope to receiving application ideas from other
people, i.e. what to put into the 8 selection areas. If the picture
can be populated with things that make sense then a prototype would
make sense (the example below could be a start).
Thank you in advance for your feedback, all appreciated.
Cheers
Klaus
P.S. an example: top-left classes, top-left-right #category, top-
right system categories, bottom-left methods, top-left-bottom
{#allSelectors. #class->#allSelectors}, bottom-right methods,
bottom-left-right #messages. Then bottom-right shows the methods
which are sent but not implemented (foreigners) by the top-left
classes themselves. And top-right can optionally show the to bottom-
right corresponding foreign system categories with bottom-right-top
#methodClass->#category.
P.P.S. thank you Doru for introducing me to your thesis and to Moose
