Dynamic Graph Map Animation

© 2020 IEEE. Recent methods for visualizing graphs have used a map metaphor: vertices are represented as regions in the plane, and proximity between regions represents edges between vertices.In many real world applications, the data changes over time, resulting in a dynamic map. This paper introduces new methods for representing dynamic graphs with map animation. More specifically, we present three different animation methods: MDSV (Multidimensional scaling - Voronoi), TV (Tutte - Voronoi) and TD (Tutte - dual). These methods support operations such as addition and deletion of vertices and edges. Each of our methods uses a kind of matrix interpolation
