In many application areas an optimal visualization of acomplex graph depends on the specific task to be accomplishedby the user. Therefore a means of locally customizablelayouts is required to focus on different problem aspects.We propose a concept of user-driven hierarchizationand layout optimization in the context of IBM zSeries I/Oconfigurations. We combine the concepts of glyphs, local 3Dlayout managers and partitioning galaxies to create an optimallayout for a given task. Additionally, to simplify globalnavigation, structural details are abstracted and can be refinedupon user request.Since element context is crucial for understanding and consistentlyconfiguring an I/O configuration, guided navigationalong the connections in this data structure is essential.To efficiently customize a graph layout, complex selectionmechanisms are needed to quickly define the areas affectedby a particular layout. Although we focus on IBM zSeriesI/O configurations, the approach we present is quite genericand can be adopted for other fields of application.
