A plane figure presents statistics relating to data items. The plane figure includes multiple wedges which categorize a set of data items into base subsets of data items. A ring with a ring radius is displayed, and the ring radius represents a measure for at least one base subset. A corresponding wedge has a wedge radius which differs from the ring radius in proportion to a difference between the measure for that base subset and a measure for a subsidiary subset of that base subset. For example, the subsidiary subset may relate to data items for a predetermined timeframe. Boundaries, such as dividing lines, may be displayed within one or more wedges to define areas that represent additional subsets of data items. In another embodiment, a presentation space include first, second, and third groups of objects, with lines displayed between certain objects to represent flows of information between those objects.
