 Abstract
 ========
 
-We present a number of techniques that enable
-non-disruptive link transitions on modern graphics accelerators,
-based on a focus+context view showing entire documents and fragments.

-- buoys: fluidly moving and zooming "labels", of link ends
+We present a number of techniques that together create 
+a non-disruptively linked focus+context hypertext system
+using the features of modern graphics accelerators,
+The non-disruptiveness is 
+based on a focus+context view showing 
+a fisheye view of the entire focused documents,
+as well as fragments of the linked-to documents (called buoys)
+floating near the anchors in the article.. 
 
 - break lines: the buoy is actually a torn-off piece of the whole other end of 
the link!

 The benefit of the nadir view is not only the appearance

+- fragments of documents are shown

+    - fragments of PDF files seem similar; target fragment
+      not useful per se

+    - using a unique background texture for each, situation
+      dramatically changes.
 
 A unique background texture consisting of random shapes 
 and colors is chosen for each document using the identity as a seed.
