GraphAEL: Graph Animations with Evolving Layouts
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

Graphael: A System for Generalized Force-Directed Layouts
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 morph...
متن کاملOnline Hierarchical Graph Drawing
We propose a heuristic for maintaining dynamic hierarchical graph layouts. The heuristic is an on-line interpretation of the static layout algorithm of Sugiyama, Togawa and Toda. It incorporates topological and geometric information with the objective of making layout animations that are both incrementally stable and readable through long editing sequences. We present measurements of an experim...
متن کاملIncremental Layout in DynaDAG
E ective techniques have been developed for some important families of graph layouts, such as hierarchies, planar embeddings, orthogonal grids and forced-directed (spring) models [1]. These techniques have been incorporated in practical user interfaces that display static diagrams of relationships between objects [19, 18, 17]. Static diagrams are not completely satisfactory because in many situ...
متن کاملObject - Oriented 3 D Modeling , Animation and Interaction JÜRGEN DÖLLNER AND KLAUS HINRICHS
SUMMARY We present an object-oriented 3D graphics and animation framework which provides a new methodology for the symmetric modeling of geometry and behavior. The toolkit separates the specification of geometry and behavior by two types of directed acyclic graphs, the geometry graph and the behavior graph, which are linked together through constraint relations. All geometry objects and behavio...
متن کاملTowards Readable Layouts for Modeling Data Warehouses (PREPRINT)
Data warehouses are large-scale databases that are usually managed by means of diagram-based conceptual models. However, the complexity of those models often imposes significant design challenges. In particular, this article studies their different underlying graph layouts. The working hypothesis is that graph layouts influence diagram readability, with the latter being significant for facilita...
