Abstract
The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for a grid-based rendering of nodes and relationships between nodes. One example method includes identifying model information that identifies nodes and relationships between nodes. The identified nodes are rendered, in a grid layout in a graphical model. Each cell of the grid includes at most one node, and the cells are separated by lane areas in which connections can be rendered. Connections between the nodes are rendered in the lane areas. The connections correspond to the relationships between the related nodes. One or more portions of the connections are overlapped when two or more connections are drawn in a same lane area. The connections, the nodes, the lane areas are selectable. A user selection of a selectable item is received. In response to the user selection, the connections and nodes that are associated with the selectable item are highlighted.
