NicheWorks—Interactive Visualization of Very Large Graphs

摘要: Abstract The difference between displaying networks with 100–1,000 nodes and ones 10,000–100,000 is not merely quantitative, it qualitative. Layout algorithms suitable for the former are too slow latter, requiring new or modified (often relaxed) versions of existing to be invented. density edges displayed per inch screen real estate requires special visual techniques filter graphs focus attention. Compounding problem that large real-life often weighted usually have additional data associated edges. A system investigating exploring such large, complex datasets needs able display both graph structure node edge attributes so patterns information hidden in can seen. In this article we describe a tool addresses these needs, NicheWorks tool. We comment on available layout linked views int...
