dc.description.abstract | Graphs are widely used to represent complex relational information. Graph visualization
is crucial for effective analysis of information. In simple graphs, nodes
are generally considered as uniform-sized components and they cannot be nested.
This is often not sufficient to visualize complex relationships, because relational
information is often clustered or hierarchically organized into groups or nested
structures.
There exist many free, open source software in the field of web-based graph
visualization. However, none fully supports compound or clustered graphs. Moreover,
customization provided by such software is often limited to the basic visual
properties of nodes and edges. It requires a lot of effort to build an advanced customization
of visual properties and interactive functionality with these software.
In this thesis, we introduce a free, open source, general-purpose, web-based
graph visualization framework, named Chisio Web (ChiWeb). ChiWeb supports
visualization, interactive editing and layout of both simple and compound graphs.
ChiWeb is implemented in ActionScript language and based on Flare, which is
an open source ActionScript library designed for data visualization.
ChiWeb is specifically designed for easy customization with respect to visualization
and functionality. ChiWeb can be used as a library to create a custom
graph visualization with an advanced application behavior for particular needs
of a specific domain. The elements and functionality that can be easily customized
with ChiWeb are: visual styles, controls for interactive events such as
node creation, key and mouse functionality, context menus, toolbars, and inspector
windows. Furthermore, ChiWeb’s architecture allows easy integration of new
graph layout algorithms. | en_US |
