Abstract

The graphael system implements several traditional force-directed layout methods, as well as several novel layout methods for non-Euclidean geometries, including hyperbolic and spherical. The system can handle large graphs, using multi-scale variations of the forcedirected methods. Moreover, graphael can layout and visualize graphs that evolve though time, using static views, animation, and morphing. The implementation includes a powerful interface that allows the user to put together existing algorithms and visualization techniques, and to easily add new ones. The system is written in Java and is available as a downloadable program or as an applet at http://graphael.cs. arizona.edu.
