1. A method for generating a graphical presentation from a data representation, wherein the method comprises:

  • applying a lens to reveal a region-of-interest within an image having a first magnification, wherein the region-of-interest is occluded by an occluding portion of the image;

    wherein the lens includes;

    an extent of the lens,a focal region including a second magnification greater than the first magnification and a transparency to reduce occlusion of the region-of-interest by the occluding portion, anda shoulder region between the extent of the lens and the focal region; and

    wherein the shoulder region;

    provides context for the focal region with respect to a portion of the image outside of the extent of the lens by preserving visibility of information surrounding the focal region, andhas decreasing transparency as depth decreases from the focal region to the portion of the image outside of the extent of the lens.
