圆形锚定地图已被提出作为一种绘图技术，以获取知识的二分图，在一个集合中的节点被安排在圆周上。然而，当绘制大规模图形时，可读性降低。为了在绘制大规模图形时保持可读性，我们开发了“球体锚定地图”，其中一组中的节点被布置在球体上。我们描述了球形锚定地图的布局方法和我们的用户研究结果。我们的研究结果表明，更多的集群的自由节点可以发现使用球锚定地图比使用圆形锚定地图。因此，我们的地图具有很高的可读性，特别是在锚点周围。
Circular anchored maps have been proposed as a drawing technique to acquire knowledge from bipartite graphs, where nodes in one set are arranged on a circumference. However, the readability decreases when large-scale graphs are drawn. To maintain the readability in drawing large-scale graphs, we developed "sphere anchored maps," in which nodes in one set are arranged on a sphere. We describe the layout method for sphere anchored maps and the results of our user study. The results of our study revealed that more clusters of free nodes can be found using sphere anchored maps than using circular anchored maps. Thus, our maps have high readability, particularly around anchors.
