Visualization of Lucene search results with a treemap

Inspired by these guys who put results from Google into a treemap...
http://google.hivegroup.com/

I did up my own version running against my index of OSS/javadoc trees.
This query for "thread pool" shows it off nicely:

http://www.searchmorph.com/kat/tsearch.jsp?s=thread%20pool&side=300&goal=500

This is the empty search form:

http://www.searchmorph.com/kat/tsearch.jsp

And the weblog entry has a few more links, esp useful if you don't know 
what a treemap is:

http://searchmorph.com/weblog/index.php?id=18

Oh: As a start, a treemap is a visualization technique, not 
java.util.Treemap. Bigger boxes show a higher score, and x,y location 
has no significance.

Enjoy,
   Dave

The algorithm is described here;
http://www.cis.hut.fi/research/som-research/book/

A short summary and some sample code is available here:

Some more interesting papers about visualization is available at the 
text-mining.org community page.

Happy hacking! :-)

Well the code is very generic - basically 1 method that takes a 
Searcher, a Query, the # of cells to show, and the size of the diagram. 
Technically I think it would be a Lucene sandbox contribution - but - 
for my site I do want to convert the custom spider/cache to use Nutch...

Interesting - is there any code avail to draw the maps?
