Network visualization tool |
摘要 |
<p>Visualization tool (30) and method for visualization of network data which represent elements and links between elements. The network data are converted into a data structure which represents a grid arrangement of the elements where each element is placed on an individual grid position of a lattice. The data structure is suited for use by a graphics display (37). The visualization tool (30) comprises a processing unit that generates an initial data structure which represents an initial grid arrangement of the elements. It then assigns a global value to this initial grid arrangement and employs a gradient method for converting the initial grid arrangement into another grid arrangement which has a decreased or an increased global value. <IMAGE></p> |
