TLDR
This is a survey on graph visualization and navigation techniques, as used in information visualization, which approaches the results of traditional graph drawing from a different perspective.
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.

Graph embedding techniques, applications, and performance: A survey

TL;DR: A comprehensive and structured analysis of various graph embedding techniques proposed in the literature, and the open-source Python library, named GEM (Graph Embedding Methods, available at https://github.com/palash1992/GEM ), which provides all presented algorithms within a unified interface to foster and facilitate research on the topic.

Hierarchical Edge Bundles: Visualization of Adjacency Relations in Hierarchical Data

TL;DR: This paper presents a new method for visualizing compound graphs based on visually bundling the adjacency edges, i.e., non-hierarchical edges, together and discusses the results based on an informal evaluation provided by potential users of such visualizations.

A Survey on Network Embedding

TL;DR: Network embedding assigns nodes in a network to low-dimensional representations and effectively preserves the network structure as discussed by the authors, and a significant amount of progress has been made toward this emerging network analysis paradigm.

Comorbidity: a network perspective.

TL;DR: A method to visualize comorbidity networks is proposed and it is argued that this approach generates realistic hypotheses about pathways to comor bidity, overlapping symptoms, and diagnostic boundaries, that are not naturally accommodated by latent variable models.

Drawing graphs nicely using simulated annealing

TL;DR: The paradigm of simulated annealing is applied to the problem of drawing graphs “nicely,” and the algorithm deals with general undirected graphs with straight-line edges, and employs several simple criteria for the aesthetic quality of the result.

Tidier Drawings of Trees

TL;DR: It is shown that various algorithms for producing tidy drawings of trees contain some difficulties that lead to aesthetically unpleasing, wider than necessary drawings, and a new algorithm is presented with comparable time and storage requirements that produces tidier drawings.

Structural analysis of hypertexts: identifying hierarchies and useful metrics

TL;DR: This paper proposes several authoring tools, based on hypertext structure analysis, that provide a multifaceted view of the hypertext, which should allow authors to reduce undesired structural complexity and create documents that readers can traverse more easily.

Space-scale diagrams: understanding multiscale interfaces

TL;DR: Space-scale diagrams provide an analytic framework for much of this work by representing both a spatial world and its different magnifications explicitly, which allows the direct visualization and analysis of important scale related issues for interfaces.

Evaluating stereo and motion cues for visualizing information nets in three dimensions

TL;DR: Two experiments show that motion cues combined with stereo viewing can substantially increase the size of the graph that can be preceived, and structured 3D motion and stereo viewing both help in understanding, but that the kind of motion is not particularly important.
