[Visinfo] Week 2 reading

[Corina S. Schweller]

I found the "Graphviz -Graph Visualization Software" to be quite 
interesting. The data representation is simple, yet efficient and 
brings a point across with maximum clarity. The Module Dependencies

the relationships of the items based on proximity. Another 
aesthetically pleasing visualization technique is the "Radial Tree".  A 
Radial Tree uses a fisheye technique and has a central node so tha it 
can display a very large amount of information. Another Software is the 
The "Fisheye Table"  distorts the information so that it can be read 
more coherently. The Content-Addressable Network reminds me of early 
math classes and is useful since you can search the graph from node to 
node. The problem with this system is that it is too centralized.
