| A dot | One embedded page. Its size grows with the internal links pointing to it. Grey and smaller: the page fits no topic. |
| Hover | The page's address, title, topic and inlinks. |
| Topic label | The topic's name and its number of pages, placed in the middle of its pages. |
| Legend, N topics | Every topic with its pages. Pressing one fades the others and fits the view to it; pressing it again clears the focus. |
