Abstract

This paper explores the possibilities of optimizing layout and design of evolving force-directed graphs. The presented approach combines graph layout techniques and animated transitions to reduce temporal visual clutter introduced by displaying the consecutive steps of force-directed graph layout algorithms. A web based prototype using tagged bookmarks as the data source gets introduced to demonstrate the discussed techniques.
