Routing Edges with Ordered Bundles

Edge bundling reduces the visual clutter in a drawing of a graph by uniting the edges into bundles. We propose a method of edge bundling drawing each edge of a bundle separately as in metro-maps and call our method ordered bundles. In general, the method creates clear and smooth edge routes giving an overview of the global graph structure, while still drawing each edge separately and thus enabling local analysis. The algorithm is implemented inside MS Visual Studio, and it is used for visualizing dependency graphs. In this talk we discuss the main steps of the method focusing on the edge routing process.
