A computer-implemented system and method for providing a display of clusters is provided. A plurality of cluster spines is presented in a two-dimensional display. Each cluster spine includes a vector of document clusters. A compass is positioned over at least a portion of the clusters of one or more of the spines. A spine label for at least one of the spines within the compass is placed around a circumference of the compass. One of the spine labels is pinned to the compass at a fixed location. The compass is reoriented within the display and the pinned spine label is displayed at the fixed location on the reoriented compass.
