Summary:We introduce ZOIL (Zoomable Object-Oriented Information Landscape), a design paradigm and software framework for post-WIMP distributed, zoomable and object-oriented user interfaces. This paper presents ZOIL’s design principles, functionality and software patterns to share them with other researchers. Additionally, ZOIL’s implementation as a software framework for C# and WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) is available as open source under the BSD License for scientific and commercial projects (see http://zoil.codeplex.com).
