This is part of our ongoing visualizations of the United States Code. For previous posts visualizing other portions of the code see Title 26 Tax and Title 11 BK. So, we wanted to test out the new Sea Dragon Visualizer from Microsoft Labs and thought Title 17 Copyright would be a fun way to give it a go. In this visual, each of the chapters under Title 17 is separately colored.
To use the visual, start in the center with the large label “Title 17 U.S.C.” and traverse the graph all the way out to any section or subsection. Sea Dragon should allow the user to smoothly zoom in and read any node. We love the interface.
In our view, the Full Screen Visual is the best. You can access it by clicking the Full Size Button on the far right. Also, if for whatever reason you zoom in too far, just use the Home Button to go back to the Full Image. Enjoy but note SeaDragon relies upon Silverlight and Javascript (so you might need to install this).
Cool visualization guys! One thing we wanted to point out was that Seadragon is using Silverlight and Javascript (when Silverlight isn’t installed) but not Flash.
Keep up the great work!
I just made the change … thanks for pointing that out
best, dan
