Systems, methods and articles for displaying data distributions in data
trees are provided. An example method retrieves a data tree organized
into a plurality of nodes that store a data parameter and identifies a
parent node from among the plurality of nodes, the parent node being
linked to a plurality of child nodes in the data tree. The relative
distribution of the data parameter among the plurality of child nodes is
determined and a plurality of graphical connectors that visually link the
parent node to the child nodes are displayed on a computer display, each
of the graphical connectors including a data distribution indicator that
indicates the relative distribution of the data parameter among the child
nodes.
