“…The sociometric group structure is examined using one or more of three possible tools: sociograms, sociometric matrices, or sociometric indices (Lindzey & Byrne, 1968). In sociograms the choice data are displayed as target diagrams where people are represented as circles and choices are expressed by arrows or different types of lines (Northway, 1940). There are three types of choices: one-way, two-way (i.e., reciprocal), and no choice.…”

“…First, arrow diagrams were drawn in which the most central actors were placed in the middle of the sheet and the researcher tried to reduce the number of cross-cutting connections as far as possible to achieve the best visual clarity. This idea was extended by Northway (1940), who introduced a variation in which nodes were grouped according to their centrality and then placed on concentric circles. The less central a node the farther outside it is placed (Klovdahl, 1981: 200).…”

Visualization is an important aspect of both exploration and communication of categorical as well as relational data. Graphical displays of policy networks are particularly attractive, since they enable authors to display in a compact way the relevant actors in a network, how they are related to each other, and what the overall structure looks like. Sociograms were early companions of social network analysis, but have received surprisingly little attention during the following decades. Only in the last few years has easy accessibility to quality computing and graphic equipment revived a now rapidly growing interest.In this paper, we analyze the problem of visualizing policy networks. We first argue why network visualization is important and non-trivial. Then we show that current methods are somewhat ad hoc in their attempt to convey information contained in a network.Our main contribution is a systematic approach to network visualization, closely following the general principles of information visualization. It provides a generic formalization which may serve as a guideline for further developments. KEY WORDS • algorithm • network visualization • sociogram

“…Radial layouts are a popular visualization tool (see [7] for a recent survey); early examples of radial graph layouts can be found in the literature on sociometry [13]. Bachmaier, Brandenburg and Forster [1] showed that radial planarity can be tested, and an embedding can be found, in linear time.…”

Abstract. A drawing of a graph G is radial if the vertices of G are placed on concentric circles C1, . . . , C k with common center c, and edges are drawn radially: every edge intersects every circle centered at c at most once. G is radial planar if it has a radial embedding, that is, a crossing-free radial drawing. If the vertices of G are ordered or partitioned into ordered levels (as they are for leveled graphs), we require that the assignment of vertices to circles corresponds to the given ordering or leveling. We show that a graph G is radial planar if G has a radial drawing in which every two edges cross an even number of times; the radial embedding has the same leveling as the radial drawing. In other words, we establish the weak variant of the Hanani-Tutte theorem for radial planarity. This generalizes a result by Pach and Tóth.
