Abstract:

Aiming at the force-directed algorithm lacking of interactivity and aesthetics and low efficiency, an
interaction oriented and incremental algorithm for graph visualization is proposed. Firstly, the algorithm
visualizes a small portion of the graph data, secondly, extends the visualized data by user’s selection, and then
draws the extended data with the new algorithm. The new algorithm can not only interact with users, but also
improve the efficiency of visualization and the aesthetics.

Key words: force-directed, visualization, interaction, increment, undirected graph
