Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to systems, methods, and computer-storage media for providing a method of presenting display characteristics of data items organized in hierarchical data structures. In one embodiment, a hierarchical data structure includes a plurality of nodes. Each node of the hierarchical data structure has a node value. The weighted value of each particular node is determined based on the sum of the node value of each node and the node values of each descendant node of the particular node. Once display characteristics based on weighted values are associated with each node, the hierarchical data structure is presented. In particular, an indicator of at least a portion of the plurality of nodes is presented to include at least one display characteristic associated with the plurality of nodes within the hierarchical data structure.
