 \section{Example applications}
 
-In this section, we present two of our user interface designs
-using tearouts. 
-
-The overall UI paradigm is the same in both,

-Buoys, somewhat similar to the child relation in

+Top: browsing PDF files of scientific articles, where

+represents a complete article to where the user can jump by clicking.
+The different background textures of the articles help the user know

+In this section, we discuss the screenshots of our user interface designs
+using tearouts (Fig.~\ref{figxupdf}). 
+The overall appearance is somewhat similar 
+to the hyperbolic tree 
browsers\cite{fc-hyperbolic,fc-large-trees,lamping96hyperbolic}.
+% replacing \cite{zellweger00fluidreading}. 
+The floating tearouts, which we call buoys, are somewhat similar to the child 
relation in 
 the hypercept system of Milgram and Cowan\cite{milgram99hypercept}
 or the layout of links in the PAD++ web browser\cite{fc-zooming}.
-The difference is that the links are elevated to first-class citizenship...

+The difference is that the bidirectional links are elevated to first-class 
citizenship:
+the structure is not embedded to a 2D space before browsing.
+An example Also seen in Fig.~\ref{figbreakout}
+The connection structure somewhat similar to \cite{churchill00anchored}, 
 
-Connections somewhat similar to \cite{churchill00anchored}, replacing

-\subsection{Browsing bidirectional links between PDF documents}
+The interface is a focus+context\cite{fc-fisheye}
+interface for browsing (editing is under construction) 
+a structure of 2D planes between which there are bidirectional connections.
+The links connect particular regions of the planes,
+and the targets of the links are shown in tearouts.
+If the focused document is large, it is also shown with break lines.
+If a link target is clicked, the view animates, bringing the link target
+to full zoom and the current focus moves to a similar tearout..
 
-A focus+context interface for browsing 
+For the link targets,
+rectangular frame would be less visually distinct; the
+tearout shows clearly that they are not part of the focused document.
 
-The links are connected to a particular region of the PDF document,
+% The overall UI paradigm is the same in both,
 
-Showing the target of the link
 
-Rectangular frame would be less visually distinct. ((don't show nadir))
+% Will publish more later
 
-Tearout shows clearly what the point is.

-    Animates to full zoom.

-\subsection{Augmenting a zoomable, editable plane with bidirectional
-links}
-
-The previous application was focused more on the graphical properties
-of the tearouts, since the location of the tearout didn't change much.
-In this section, we discuss a zoomable user interface (XXX REFS)
 where panning and showing the current scale through the torn edge are
 more important.
