This paper describes a fractal-based method for controlling information display. This method can be applied to information structures which are represented as trees, such as structured programs, UNIX directories, and so on. Its features are: (1) both local details near the focus of attention and major landmarks further away are displayed; (2) the total amount of information displayed is nearly constant whichever node a user focuses on; and (3) this amount is set flexibly.
