Introduction

Fisheye in human-computer interaction is a graphical visualization technique to browse large datasets of information. It uses a spatial distortion of the fisheye lens to allow a user to see both the surrounding context and a focus area on the same view.

This actionscript library provides tools to represent such a view in the actionscript context. An example of application of the linear fisheye can be seen here.
