Abstract
A method of constructing graph abstractions using a computer is described. The abstraction is presented on a computer display and used by a human viewer to understand a more complicated set of raw graphs. The method provides rapid generation of an abstraction that offers an arbitrary composition graph of vertices into composite vertices, dispersing and marshaling of composite vertices, arbitrary hiding and showing of portions of the composition, and marking of points of elision.
