The visual interface plays a significant role in a visual programming system. We therefore developed heuristics that improve the readability of control-and data-flow diagrams with many hundreds, and even thousands of nodes. In this paper, we study how the body of research in graph drawing (GD) can be applied to an actual graph-based interface.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
