Abstract:
A graph display system that represents graph nodes as grid cells in a two-dimensional grid. Graph edges are represented by placing the edge's nodes in adjacent grid cells, thus eliminating the entanglement of edges that are typically drawn as lines between scattered nodes. Relatedness of two nodes sharing an edge is indicated by the edge's weight. The display system prioritizes placement of higher weight edges such that more related information is grouped together in nearby grid cells. Any graph with n nodes and e edges can be displayed and browsed.
