Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method/device and to show the products for the fractal nest, layout in a hierarchical system by displaying the node at the highest level of a hierarchy as a window and also displaying the nodes at lower levels in the area of the node at the highest level. SOLUTION: A step or element which displays the node at the highest level of a hierarchy as a window on a monitor with a step or element which displays nodes at lower levels in the area of the node at the highest level. The nodes at lower levels are sometimes expanded or not expanded, and the nodes which are not expanded are displayed in one of both areas with the nodes which are expanded displayed in the other area respectively. An object model 122, for example, includes for non-expanding nodes 124 and three expanding nodes 126. The nodes 124 are displayed on the upper half part of the model 122 as the opaque black boxes. Thus, the effect of a non-expanding mode is visually improved.
