Using Computer Games Techniques for Improving Graph Visualization Efficiency
نویسندگان
چکیده
Creating an efficient, interactive and flexible unified graph visualization system is a difficult problem. We present a hardware accelerated OpenGL graph drawing engine, in conjunction with a flexible preview package. While the interactive OpenGL visualization focuses on performance, the preview focuses on aesthetics and simple network map creation. The system is implemented as Gephi, a modular and extensible open-source Java application built on top of the Netbeans Platform, currently in alpha version 0.7.

A new approach for data visualization problem
Data visualization is the process of transforming data, information, and knowledge into visual form, making use of humans’ natural visual capabilities which reveals relationships in data sets that are not evident from the raw data, by using mathematical techniques to reduce the number of dimensions in the data set while preserving the relevant inherent properties. In this paper, we formulated d...
متن کاملGAVS: Game Arena Visualization and Synthesis
Reasoning on the properties of computer systems can often be reduced to deciding the winner of a game played on a finite graph. In this paper, we introduce GAVS, an open-source tool for the visualization of some of the most fundamental games on finite graphs used in theoretical computer science, including, e.g., reachability games and parity games. The main purpose of GAVS is educational, a fac...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of computerized cognitive games on reduction of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms and time perception in children with ADHD. The present research method was a quasi-experimental pre-test-post-test design with a control group. Thirty students with ADHD were selected through purposeful sampling from elementary school stude...
متن کاملA method for testing graph visualizations using games
We describe a system that enables us to perform exploratory empirical experiments with graph visualization techniques by incorporating them into games that can be played on an internet site, the Graph Games Website (http://www.cs.kent.ac.uk/projects/graphmotion/). We present a general discussion of games as a test-bed for empirical experiments in graph comprehension, and explain why they might,...
متن کاملRealistic real-time rendering of landscapes using billboard clouds
We present techniques for realistic real-time rendering of complex landscapes that consist of many highly detailed plant models. The plants are approximated by dynamically changing sets of billboards. Realistic illumination is approximated using spherical harmonics. Since even the rendering of simple billboard cloud plants is too time consuming, the landscape in the background is approximated w...
