1. A method of visualizing a collection of graphs to provide context and focus, wherein each of the graphs may be aligned along one axis of a visualization, said method comprising: aligning all of the graphs with respect to the one axis; compressing visualizations of the graphs in a direction along a second axis perpendicular to the first axis; zooming at least one of the graphs to make a visualization of the at least one graph having a greater scale along the second axis than a scale of the compressed graphs; and displaying the at least one zoomed graph and the compressed graphs, wherein the at least one zoomed graphs are displayed in a same order relative to the compressed graphs and each other as occupied prior to said zooming.
