An Interactive Multi-user System for Simultaneous Graph Drawing
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we consider the problem of simultaneous drawing of two graphs. The goal is to produce aesthetically pleasing drawings for the two graphs by means of a heuristic algorithm and with human assistance. Our implementation uses the DiamondTouch table, a multiuser, touch-sensitive input device, to take advantage of direct physical interaction of several users working collaboratively. The system can be downloaded at http://dt.cs.arizona.edu where it is also available as an applet.

Interactive optimization in cooperative environments
In the present paper, we introduce a multi-user interactive framework for solving complex optimization problems. The framework, called Co-UserHints, provides a visual computational environment for interaction and visualization. We demonstrate its functionality by presenting a multi-user system for interactive graph drawing.
متن کاملCOMAIDE: Information Visualization using Cooperative 3D Diagram Layout
COMAIDE is a toolkit for user-system cooperation through joint multi-focal graph browsing. It supports cooperative force-directed layout management, concurrent with dialogue handling, for heterogeneous multi-layered 3D interactive diagrams. The layout manager's intu-itively`natural' animations of multi-layered 3D graph drawings support: 1. Cooperative tidying of user-manipulable 3D layout; 2. O...
متن کاملInteractive Orthogonal Graph Drawing
Many applications require human interaction during the design process. The user is given the ability to alter the graph as the design progresses. Interactive Graph Drawing allows the user to dynamically interact with the drawing. In this paper we discuss features that are essential for an interactive orthogonal graph drawing system. We also describe some possible interactive drawing scenaria, p...

متن کاملDemonstration of the Interactive Graph-Visualization System da Vinci
We present the graph visualization system daVinci, an interactive tool that can be used by arbitrary application programs as a user interface for graph data structures. Beside a novel automatic layout algorithm for graphs, daVinci offers many interactive facilities such as fine-tuning of a layout, abstractions and scaling operations. A bidirectional application interface is used for tool commun...
