A system and method for placing cluster groupers in a visual display is provided. Groupers of document clusters are obtained. One of the groupers is placed into a center of a display. A further grouper is selected, and a size of the further grouper is determined. An angle for placement of the further grouper and a radius from the center of the display for placement of the further grouper are also determined based on the grouper size to minimize overlap with the placed grouper. The further grouper is positioned in the display in relation to the grouper based on the determined angle and radius.
