Graphael: A System for Generalized Force-Directed Layouts
نویسندگان
چکیده
The graphael system implements several classic force-directed layout methods, as well as several novel layout methods for non-Euclidean geometries, including hyperbolic and spherical. The system can handle large graphs, using multi-scale variations of the force-directed methods. Finally, the system can layout and visualize graphs that evolve though time, using static views, animation, and morphing. The system is written in Java and is available as a downloadable program or as an applet at http://graphael.cs.arizona.edu.

GraphAEL: Graph Animations with Evolving Layouts
GraphAEL extracts three types of evolving graphs from the Graph Drawing literature and creates 2D and 3D animations of the evolutions. We study citation graphs, topic graphs, and collaboration graphs. We also create difference graphs which capture the nature of change between two given time periods. GraphAEL can be accessed online at http://graphael.cs.arizona.edu.
متن کاملImproved Force-Directed Layouts
Techniques for drawing graphs based on force-directed placement and virtual physical models have proven surprisingly successful in producing good layouts of undirected graphs. Aspects of symmetry, structure, clustering and reasonable vertex distribution arise from initial, formless clouds of points. However, when nodes must be labeled and point vertices are replaced by non-point vertices, simpl...
متن کاملUser Control of Force-directed Layouts
Force-directed layouts are typically used for minimizing overlaps in node-link graphs. This can make it easier to interpret and derive meaning from the resulting visualization. Once such a layout is put in motion, however, the person interacting with it has little control over the “final” layout. This paper describes an approach that puts even inexperienced users in charge of force-directed lay...
متن کاملCCVisu 3 . 0 Introduction and Reference Manual — Draft —
CCVisu is a lightweight tool for visual graph clustering and general force-directed graph layout. Although the tool was originally developed for computing clustering layouts of software systems, based on dependency and co-change graphs, CCVisu is applicable to many graph layout problems.
متن کاملSync-and-Burst: Force-Directed Graph Drawing with Uniform Force Magnitudes
We introduce a force-directed algorithm, called Sync-andBurst, which falls into the category of classical force-directed graph drawing algorithms. A distinct feature in Sync-and-Burst is the use of simplified forces of attraction and repulsion whose magnitude does not depend on the distance between vertices. Instead, magnitudes are uniform throughout the graph at each iteration and monotonicall...
