State transition diagrams, PERT\/CPM\ncharts, and               entity-relationship diagrams are a few examples\nof many applications        involving graphs. Typically, nodes in\nthe graph represent items in the      application and the edges\nrepresent the relationships among these items. A  graph\neditor is an interactive tool that presents a graph to the\nuser   pictorially and allows the user to edit the graph.\nThis monograph presents  the design of an extendible graph\neditor, which is a graph editor that can  be adapted easily\nto many different application areas. Several fundamental  and\nrecurring problem areas associated with graph editors                   are\ninvestigated and a solution is proposed for each. The                   topics\ninvestigated are:\n- Graph layout: a layout constraint mechanism  is presented\nwhich can easily be combined with various graph                layout\nalgorithms.\n- Graphical abstraction: a novel clustering techniquecalled\nedge concentration is presented which can reduce the\napparent    complexity of the graph.\n- Persistence: the graph structures produced by theeditor\ncan be kept in long-term storage using a standardized,\nexternal  format for graphs.\n- Extendibility: the design of the proposed graph        editor\nmakes it easy to adapt to various applications.\nTo demonstrate   their feasibility, the proposed solutions\nhave been incorporated into EDGE, an extendible graph editor\nprotoype.\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783540570905\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783540570905","offer_id":39437209305181,"sku":"9783540570905","price":53.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/4b2603a8-dee2-49c9-b517-e704cb1e6f64.jpg?v=1773552852","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/the-design-of-an-extendible-graph-editor-von-frances-n-paulisch","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
