超绘和边交叉是大型图探索过程中常见的问题。布局方法，如边缘捆绑，已被应用于减少这个问题。它们通常以引入局部模糊性和丢失连接细节为代价，从而使边交互变得困难。在本文中，我们提出了EdgeAnalyzer，一个焦点+上下文的技术，直接与边缘和边缘束的互动，保持原来的图形布局不变。边缘可以聚焦、分组、过滤和选择，采用用户选择的标准，允许分析底层数据。EdgeAnalyzer可以应用于不同类型的节点链接图，但当可以利用边缘的相似性时特别有用。我们展示了EdgeAnalyzer与不同的示例场景，并显示了该方法的可行性更详细的知识产权领域的共同分类分析。
Overdraw and edge crossings are common problems during the exploration of large graphs. Layout methods, such as edge bundling, have been applied to diminish this problem. They often come at the cost of introducing local ambiguities and losing connectivity detail, thus making edge interaction difficult. In this paper we propose EdgeAnalyzer, a focus+context technique for direct interaction with edges and edge bundles, keeping the original graph layout unaltered. Edges can be focused, grouped, filtered, and selected employing user-chosen criteria allowing for the analysis of the underlying data. EdgeAnalyzer can be applied to different kinds of node-link diagrams, but is particularly useful when similarities of edges can be exploited. We demonstrate EdgeAnalyzer with different example scenarios, and show the feasibility of the approach in more detail for co-classification analysis in the intellectual property domain.
