Abstract :
We have introduced zoomable user interfaces into Pounamu, a visual language meta-tool, providing enhanced view navigation and management features. The zoomable user interfaces provide the user with support for flexible and dynamic design overviews and view element focus, and help address problems of lack of screen space and display capability in complex views
