!!!Widget ideas
*text window showing a subset of a gigantic (>100GB), should allow filtering, search, folding of blocks
*scrollbar with background image that can be updated. idea: show summary of environment in which we scroll.
*graph with objects I can click on and select associated data in other widget. Lasso to select a group of associate objects
*2d heat map where I can click to find associated data. Select a group (possibly a la gimp). Ideally, zoomable, scrollable
*display two or more images on top of each other with a transformation for each, combine them (transparency, difference). Allow to zoom and scroll.
*layout manager that allows to stack widgets (e.g. Map of scrollable area on to of scrollable)
*text label that shows image behind text (e.g. Bar that shows value etc). The image could be blended with background color to make text more readable.
!! Text summary
Text summary
Summarize big documents visually
*thumbnails per page (section?)
*identify important words, assign colors, show them on reduced representation of doc (a couple pixel per page)
*when zoomed in show sentences that are important
*could apply to websites, clusters of docs etc.

!!!Implementation techniques
* Use composition to display image background behind widget: [swing | http://www.java-tips.org/java-se-tips/javax.swing/wrap-a-swing-jcomponent-in-a-background-image.html]
* glazed lists seem interesting for searching/filtering lists
