Hierarchically Organized Layout for Visualization of Biochemical Pathway
Jyh-Jong Tsay, Bo-Liang Wu, Yu-Sen Jeng · 2008
In this paper, we present a layout algorithm for hierarchically organized pathways that combines and improves well-known forced-directed layout approach and hierarchical layout approach, and can handle complex pathways composed of cycles and hierarchies. Experiment shows that our approach can clearly render the global component structure of complex pathways as well as the local structure in each component.
