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.

Visualization of Intersecting Groups Based on Hypergraphs

TL;DR: The agraph model and a visual design that help in the visualization of group relationships represented by hypergraphs are presented and the use of superimposed visualization layers with different level of abstraction and the help of interaction and navigation through the display is presented.

Extending and enhancing a basic program analysis system

TL;DR: A tool for automatic production of the control flow graph that offers some dedicated and practically useful features, such as vertices grouping that allows the visualization of large and complex programs, ergonomic code coverage visualization via the simulation of the program's execution and enhanced user interaction is described.
