Abstract

Graph visualization is a large and evolving research area. Many graph visualization approaches have been developed. Most graph visualization methods use simple geometrical shapes to draw graphs. However, the potential of metaphorical visualization is often not utilized in graph visualizations. In this paper we propose a metaphorical visualization of graph structures inspired by biological neural networks. The proposed graph visualization aims at presenting graphs in a more attractive and probably also more comprehensible way.
