First Claim
1. A method for generating a graphical presentation from a data representation, the method comprising:
- applying a transparency lens to reveal a region-of-interest within an original image, wherein the region-of-interest is occluded by an occluding portion of the original image;
wherein the transparency lens includes;
a focal region having a transparency to reduce occlusion of the region-of-interest by the occluding portion, anda shoulder region between the focal region and a foreground of the original image, wherein the shoulder region has decreasing transparency as depth decreases from the focal region to the foreground.

Abstract
According to certain embodiments of the present invention, a graphical presentation is generated from a data representation. A transparency lens is applied to reveal a region-of-interest within an original image. The region-of-interest is occluded by an occluding portion of the original image. The transparency lens includes a focal region having a transparency to reduce occlusion of the region-of-interest by the occluding portion. The transparency lens also includes a shoulder region between the focal region and a foreground of the original image. The shoulder region has decreasing transparency from the focal region to the foreground. In an embodiment, occluding portion is sliced into slices normal to a depth axis of the original image. Transparencies are applied to the slices as a function of depth of the slices to form the shoulder region.
