Abstract

In several applications, a huge amount of graph data have been generated, demanding the creation of appropriate tools for graph visualization. One class of graph data which is attracting a lot of attention recently are the temporal graphs, which encode how objects and their relationships evolve over time. This paper introduces the Graph Visual Rhythm, a novel image-based representation to visualize changing patterns typically found in temporal graphs. The use of visual rhythms is motivated by its capacity of providing a lot of contextual information about graph dynamics in a compact way. We validate the use of graph visual rhythms through the creation of a visual analytics tool to support the decision-making process based on complex-network-oriented soccer match analysis.
