A Simple Method for Network Visualization

Abstract

In this article, we present a simple method for network visualization. The proposed method is based on distmesh [P.O. Persson and G. Strang, A simple mesh generator in MATLAB, SIAM Review 46 (2004) pp. 329–345], which is a simple unstructured triangular mesh generator for geometries represented by a signed distance function. We demonstrate a good performance of the proposed algorithm through several network visualization examples.
