Drawing Graphs Within Graphs: A Contribution to the Graph Drawing Contest 2003
Paul Holleis, Thomas Zimmermann, Daniel Gmach · 2003
This paper is a winning contribution to the Graph Drawing Contest 2003. The task of drawing subgraphs is often underestimated and subgraphs are simply emphasized using different colors or line styles. In this paper, we present an approach for drawing graphs within graphs that layouts the subgraphs first and therefore increases their locality. We introduce connection sets emphasizing relationships between several subgraphs. In a case study, we demonstrate how they can be used to visualize connections between many small network motifs.
