You can use the Info Map to dynamically visualize objects and their relationships to other objects. When you
select an object, it is displayed as a central node surrounded by its related objects
displayed also as nodes. When you select another object node, you make that object
the focus of the Info Map and it is displayed as the central node surrounded by its
own related objects.
