dc.description.abstract | Graphs are data models, widely used in many areas from networking to biology to
computer science. Visualization, interactive editing ability and layout of graphs
are critical issues when analyzing the underlying relational information.
There are many commercial and non-commercial graph visualization tools.
However, overall support for compound or hierarchically organized graph representations
is very limited.
We introduce a new open-source editing and layout framework named Chisio
for compound graphs. Chisio is developed as a free, easy-to-use and powerful academic
graph visualization tool, supporting various automatic layout algorithms.
It is written in Java and based on Eclipse’s Graphical Editing Framework (GEF).
Chisio can be used as a finished generic compound graph editor with standard
graph editing facilities such as zoom, scroll, add or remove graph objects, move,
and resize. Object property and layout options dialogs are provided to modify
existing graph object properties and layout options, respectively. In addition,
printing or saving the current drawing as a static image and persistent storage
facilities are supported. Saved graphs or GraphML formatted files created by
other tools can be loaded into Chisio. Furthermore, a highlight mechanism is
provided to emphasize subgraphs of users interest.
The framework has an architecture suitable for easy customization of the tool
for end-users’ specific needs as well. Also Chisio offers several layout styles from
the basic spring embedder to hierarchical layout to compound spring embedder to
circular layout. Furthermore, new algorithms are straightforward to add, making
Chisio an ideal test environment for layout algorithm developers. | en_US |
