Visualizing Large Graphs with Compound-Fisheye Views and Treemaps
نویسندگان
چکیده
Compound-fisheye views are introduced as a method for the display and interaction with large graphs. The method relies on a hierarchical clustering of the graph, and a generalization of the traditional fisheye view, together with a treemap representation of the cluster tree.

Layout-independent Fisheye Views of Nested Graphs
Although a graph can be a useful device for visualizing complex relationships, drawings of large graphs can be difficult to comprehend. As one remedy, we formulated a novel generalized approach for generating fisheye views of nested graphs with multiple variable focal points, and devised an algorithm that creates fisheye views in the absence of application specific distance metrics. Previous so...
متن کاملFacilitating Visual Queries in the TreeMap Using Distortion Techniques
TreeMap is one a common space-filling visualization technique to display large hierarchies in a limited display space. In TreeMaps, highlighting techniques are widely used to depict search results from visual queries. To improve visualizing the queries results in the TreeMap, we designed a continuous animated multi-distortion algorithm based on fisheye and continuous zooming techniques. To eval...
متن کاملEncoding Presentation Emphasis Algorithms for Graphs
While graphs can effectively visualize one or more relations on a set of elements, drawings of large graphs can be difficult to understand. As such, many presentation emphasis techniques for visualizing graphs such as fisheye views have been proposed. A recent survey paper [9] described an abstract space of techniques and identified common shortcomings. Here we outline a highlevel language that...
متن کاملOn Designing an Experiment to Evaluate a Reverse Engineering Tool
The Rigi reverse engineering system is designed to analyze and summarize the structure of large software systems. Two contrasting approaches are available for visualizing software structures in the Rigi graph editor. The first approach displays the structures through multiple, individual windows. The second approach, Simple Hierarchical Multi-Perspective (SHriMP) views, employs fisheye views of...
متن کاملRubbing the Fisheye: Precise Touch-Screen Interaction with Gestures and Fisheye Views
Fisheye lenses are powerful tools for visualizing dense data while simultaneously providing focus and context. Unfortunately, target acquisition in fisheye lenses is complicated by magnification effects that make it seem as if objects in the fisheye view are moving when the view is changed. These problems become even more evident with touchscreen–controlled fisheye views, where there is no cont...
