Abstract

In this article, we present a simple method for network visualization. The proposed method is based on distmesh [P.O. Persson and G. Strang, A simple mesh generator in MATLAB, SIAM Review 46 (2004) pp. 329–345], which is a simple unstructured triangular mesh generator for geometries represented by a signed distance function. We demonstrate a good performance of the proposed algorithm through several network visualization examples.

Summary

Introduction

Since the formation of society, the relationships between its components have been significant. One of such algorithms is a classical force-directed algorithm that employs straight-edges. Please refer to [17] for more details about the algorithm and parameter definition Another approach for automatically drawing a network diagram is based on the algorithm presented by Hall [18]. The algorithm was applied to a variety of examples from the literature Another representative method for drawing network diagrams is the stress majorization [21]. Compared to other methods based on the gradient to optimize total level of movements, for instance, the force-directed method, the stress majorization method, etc., our proposed algorithm is simple to implement.
