To visualize such a multigraph, a clear layout representing a global structure is of great importance, and interactive visual analysis which allows the multiple edges to be adjusted in appropriate ways for detailed presentation is also essential. A novel interactive two-phase approach to visualizing and exploring multigraph is proposed. The approach consists of two phases: the first phase improves the previous popular works on force-directed methods to produce a brief drawing for the aggregation graph of the input multigraph, while the second phase proposes two interactive strategies, the magnifier model and the thematic-oriented subgraph model. The former highlights the internal details of an aggregation edge which is selected interactively by user, and draws the details in a magnifying view by cubic Bezier curves; the latter highlights only the thematic subgraph consisting of the selected multiple edges that the user concerns. The efficiency of the proposed approach is demonstrated with a real-world multigraph dataset and how it is used effectively is discussed for various potential applications.展开更多

This paper presents an intermediary approach, based on H. P. Luhn’s automatic abstract creation algorithm, and intends to aggregate more information to document visualization than word counting methods do without the need of external sources. The method takes pairs of relevant words and computes the linkage force between them. Relevant words become vertices and links become edges in the resulting graph.展开更多

As the finishing touch of the whole urban space, by means of design of elements such as symbols, graphs, characters and colors as well as integration of various factors, the identity system reflects the urban specialty, conveys urban features related to history, geography, culture and emotion. The identity system provides suitable space environment to people through application of concrete symbols, graphs, characters and colors, in addition, it also mirrors that the designing culture of a city equals to its design concept with the combination of the historical culture of this city. A modem city shall be provided with such function, that is, it shall possess a whole set of well-designed and scientific-planned indication mechanism to help those wandering pedestrians to indicate direction and find their way successfully. It shall not only serve the mass, realize inter-coordination among people, identity facility and space environment to make people' s living environment more comfortable and convenient, but also it constitutes the vital cartier to spread local culture and model urban brand.展开更多

Based on the information from social networks, the idea of information visualization and development of tools are presented. Popular social network micro-blog ('Weibo') is chosen to realize the process of users' interest and communications data analysis. User interest visualization methods are discussed and chosen and programs are developed to collect users' interest and describe it by graph. The visualization results may be used to provide the commercial recommendation or social investigation application for decision makers.展开更多

The approach is in chronological order starting with collection of program codes as a string and split into individual characters using regular expression. This will be followed by separating the token grammar using best first search (BFS) algorithm to determine node having lowest value, lastly followed by graph presentation of intermediate representation achieved with the help of graph visualization software (GraphViz) while former is implemented using python programming language version 3. The efficacy of our approach is used in analyzing C++ code and yielded a satisfactory result.展开更多
