Could anyone suggest any literature on displaying / browsing a large graph?
Our problem is that we have a large graph (ie. a set of 1000 or more
nodes and arcs connecting them) that represents components of a large
software system and their interdependencies. We want a programmer
to be able to call up a screen display of the graph centered at some node
of interest and then "browse" through it.
The general problem is how to design a convenient natural interface for
viewing such a graph. The detailed problems include screen layout
(to minimize crossing lines and superimposed nodes), and the mechanics of
scrolling, zooming, printing, etc.
Any suggestions would be most welcome. Please reply by E-mail:

I'm also interested in this. Please E-mail replies (or post if there's more general interest). Thanks, Bo Curry (curry@hplabs) (415) 857-7660
