MoireGraphs: Radial Focus+Context Visualization and Interaction for Graphs with Visual Nodes
In Proceedings of the 2003 IEEE Symposium on
Information Visualization,
Tamara Munzner and Stephen North, eds., pp. 59–66, IEEE Computer
Science Press 2003.
Abstract
Graph and tree visualization techniques enable interactive exploration of
complex relations while communicating topology. However, most existing
techniques have not been designed for situations where visual information such
as images is also present at each node and must be displayed. This paper
presents MoireGraphs to address this need. MoireGraphs combine a new
focus+context radial graph layout with a suite of interaction techniques (focus
strength changing, radial rotation, level highlighting, secondary foci,
animated transitions and node information) to assist in the exploration of
graphs with visual nodes. The method is scalable to hundreds of displayed
visual nodes.
