Apparatus for providing displays in which the locations of nodes of a graph relative to each other are a function of the significance of a relationship between the nodes. The technique used to locate the nodes produces groups of nodes with significantrelationships to each other which are set visually apart from the other nodes. The relationships between the nodes are defined by using a statistic to give weights to links between the nodes. Statistics may also he used to determine the size, shape, and color of the nodes and the color and width of the links. The display may also include histograms which show the numbers of links or nodes which have given values of the statistics and which relate the colors in which the nodes and links are displayed to values of the statistics. The histograms may further he used to interactively define masks for links and nodes, and masked links and nodes are not taken into account in making the display.

Appareil conçu pour fournir des affichages dans lesquels les emplacements les uns par rapport aux autres des noeuds d'un graphe sont fonction de l'importance d'une relation entre les noeuds. La technique utilisée pour déterminer l'emplacement des noeuds produit des groupes de noeuds ayant des relations significatives les uns par rapport aux autres et qui sont distingués visuellement des autres noeuds. On détermine les relations entre les noeuds au moyen d'une statistique indiquant le poids des liens entre les noeuds. Des statistiques peuvent également servir à déterminer la taille, la forme et la couleur des noeuds, ainsi que la couleur et la largeur des liens. L'affichage utilisé peut également comporter des histogrammes indiquant le nombre de liens ou de noeuds dont les statistiques correspondent à certaines valeurs particulières; l'image montre ces rapports en associant la couleur utilisée pour chaque noeud ou lien à certaines valeurs des statistiques. Ces histogrammes permettent également de créer interactivement des masques de liens et de noeuds, les liens et les noeuds masqués n'étant pas pris en compte lors de la production de l'affichage.
