Graph layout is an information visualization technology for illustrating relations between objects. Interactive graph layout is often important since it is difficult to statically lay out complex graphs such as general undirected graphs. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to interactive layout of general undirected graphs. The basic idea of our approach is to use static graph layouts in high-dimensional spaces to dynamically find two-dimensional layouts according to user interaction. The resulting method that we present exhibits the following two characteristics: (1) it efficiently updates two-dimensional graph layouts during user interaction; (2) it follows users' node dragging operations by actively moving other closely related nodes. Our method adopts eigenvector-based multidimensional scaling to compute high-dimensional graph layouts, and performs constraint satisfaction to determine appropriate two-dimensional planes onto which the high-dimensional layouts will be projected.
