Graph-Level Operations: A High-Level Interface for Graph Visualization Technique Specification
نویسنده
چکیده
Social networks collected by historians or sociologists typically have a large number of actors and edge attributes. Applying social network analysis (SNA) algorithms to these networks produces additional attributes such as degree, centrality, and clustering coefficients. Understanding the effects of this plethora of attributes is one of the main challenges of multivariate SNA. We present the design of GraphDice, a multivariate network visualization system for exploring the attribute space of edges and actors. GraphDice builds upon the ScatterDice system for its main multidimensional navigation paradigm, and extends it with novel mechanisms to support network exploration in general and SNA tasks in particular. Novel mechanisms include visualization of attributes of interval type and projection of numerical edge attributes to node attributes. We show how these extensions to the original ScatterDice system allow to support complex visual analysis tasks on networks with hundreds of actors and up to 30 attributes, while providing a simple and consistent interface for interacting with network data.

A Tangible Interface for High-Level Direction of Multiple Animated Characters
Many training, education, and visualization environments would benefit from realistic animated characters. Unfortunately, interfaces for character motion specification are often complex and ill-suited to non-experts. We present a tangible interface for basic character manipulation on planar surfaces. In particular, we focus on interface aspects specific to 2D gross character animation such as p...
متن کاملPLT Scheme Scene Graph: An Application of Mixin for Construction of Graphics Scene Data Structure
This paper presents a high level API for constructing scene graph structure in PLT Scheme. That is built upon the SGL, the OpenGL binding in scheme and supplies the basic primitive three dimensional objects. We add basic graphics operations for visualization and interactive manipulation of the objects in the scene or the whole viewing operations. The focus of this paper is to show the structure...
متن کاملOptimizing the control-unit through the resynchronization of operations
Most approaches to control-unit optimization use a finite state machine model, where operations are bound to control states. However, when synthesizing circuits from a higher, more abstract level of hardware specification that supports concurrency and synchronization, these approaches may be overly restrictive. We present a strategy for optimizing control circuits based on resynchronization of ...
متن کاملInteractive Visualization of Huge Graphs Using Kernel Functions for Aggregation
I propose a new graph visualization technique that allows the interactive exploration of large datasets with adjustable level of detail. The approach is designed to exploit the architecture of common graphics hardware and achieves interactive speed through parallelization. To address information hiding through node and edge clutter, I replace the standard node link diagram with a novel combinat...
متن کاملDye Advection without the Blur: A Level-Set Approach for Texture-Based Visualization of Unsteady Flow
Dye advection is an intuitive and versatile technique to visualize both steady and unsteady flow. Dye can be easily combined with noise-based dense vector field representations and is an important element in user-centric visual exploration processes. However, fast texture-based implementations of dye advection rely on linear interpolation operations that lead to severe diffusion artifacts. In t...
