Hive Plots
►http://bost.ocks.org/mike/hive
Many methods of graph drawing, such as force layouts, do not assign intrinsically-meaningful positions to nodes: the position is only approximate, in the hope that related nodes appear nearby. While intuitive, these methods arguably make poor use of the most effective visual channel (that is, position), and in the worst case produce an indecipherable hairball.
Enter Krzywinski’s hive plot. Hive plots define a linear layout for nodes, grouping nodes by type and arranging them along radial axes based on some property of data. The explicit position encoding has the potential to better reveal the network structure while communicating additional information. Hive plots can also be extended to show aggregate relationships.
