Abstract
A layout method in a display area for multiple graph components in a dynamic network. The multiple graph components are sorted according to their importance into a first subset Sand a second subset Saccording to the order of their importance. The first subset Sis divided into an upper subset Cincluding only the most important graph component and a lower subset C. The display area is divided into display portions S' and S′ proportionally according to the importance values of the first subset Sand the second subset S. Display portion S′ is divided into display portions C′ and C′ proportionally according to the importance values of the upper subset Cand the lower subset C. The first division and the second division and the corresponding division of the display area are executed iteratively until the aspect ratio of display portion C′ is close to 1.
