Abstract
This is a survey on graph visualization and navigation techniques, as used in information visualization. Graphs appear in numerous applications such as Web browsing, state-transition diagrams, and data structures. The ability to visualize and to navigate in these potentially large, abstract graphs is often a crucial part of an application. Information visualization has specific requirements, which means that this survey approaches the results of traditional graph drawing from a different perspective.

Image-based edge bundles: simplified visualization of large graphs

TL;DR: A new approach aimed at understanding the structure of connections in edge‐bundling layouts is presented, combining the advantages of edge bundles with a bundle‐centric simplified visual representation of a graph's structure.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Fisheye Tree Views and Lenses for Graph Visualization

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present interactive visual aids to support the exploration and navigation of graph layouts, including Fisheye Tree Views and Composite Lenses, which facilitate the display of local graph information that may be difficult to grasp in large and dense graph layouts.

Visualizing biological pathways: requirements analysis, systems evaluation and research agenda

TL;DR: A comprehensive list of requirements for pathway visualization systems is presented, based on interviews conducted to understand life scientists' needs for pathway analysis, and if addressed effectively, these requirements can prove to be most helpful in supporting exploratory pathway analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Technical Section: CGV-An interactive graph visualization system

TL;DR: This work presents a fully implemented graph visualization system, called CGV (Coordinated Graph Visualization), whose particular emphasis is on interaction, that has been designed as a dual-use system that can run as a stand-alone application or as an applet in a web browser.
Journal ArticleDOI

Batch kernel SOM and related Laplacian methods for social network analysis

TL;DR: This paper shows how a kernel version of the batch self-organizing map can be used to achieve goals via kernels derived from the Laplacian matrix of the graph, especially when it is used in conjunction with more classical methods based on the spectral analysis of thegraph.

Graph drawing by force-directed placement

TL;DR: A modification of the spring‐embedder model of Eades for drawing undirected graphs with straight edges is presented, developed in analogy to forces in natural systems, for a simple, elegant, conceptually‐intuitive, and efficient algorithm.

Information Visualization: Perception for Design

TL;DR: The art and science of why the authors see objects the way they do are explored, and the author presents the key principles at work for a wide range of applications--resulting in visualization of improved clarity, utility, and persuasiveness.

Generalized fisheye views

TL;DR: This paper explores fisheye views presenting, in turn, naturalistic studies, a general formalism, a specific instantiation, a resulting computer program, example displays and an evaluation.
