论文摘要
视觉呈现网络的过程是了解网络中实体关系的有效方法，因为它揭示了网络的整体结构和拓扑。实际网络由于其巨大的复杂性而难以可视化，其中包括大量数据，几种类型的交互，各种子系统和多个连接性以及随时间的变化。本文介绍了Gephi的“ Multiviz插件”，Gephi是一种用于图形可视化和修改的开源软件工具，以便以多层方式可视化复杂的网络。通过插件可用，可以将现有网络转换为多层网络。该插件支持多种布局算法，并允许用户选择要用作该层的网络的属性。该研究的目的是使用户完全控制网络如何以多层方式可视化。我们演示了插件使用现实生活中的复杂多层数据集可视化多层数据的能力。
The process of visually presenting networks is an effective way to understand entity relationships within the networks since it reveals the overall structure and topology of the network. Real networks are extremely difficult to visualize due to their immense complexity, which includes vast amounts of data, several types of interactions, various subsystems and several levels of connectivity as well as changes over time. This paper introduces the "MultiViz Plugin," a plugin for gephi, an open-source software tool for graph visualization and modification, in order to to visualize complex networks in a multi-layer manner. A collection of settings are availabe through the plugin to transform an existing network into a multi-layered network. The plugin supports several layout algorithms and lets user to choose which property of the network to be used as the layer. The goal of the study is to give the user complete control over how the network is visualized in a multi-layer fashion. We demonstrate the ability of the plugin to visualize multi-layer data using a real-life complex multi-layer datasets.
