Abstract

Large-scale graph layout remains a prominent focus in graph visualization research. While the stress model excels in representing global structure, its speed lags behind the spring-electric model, and its local structure quality is suboptimal. This paper proposed a graph layout algorithm, aimed at enhancing the efficiency of layout while preserving global structure and improving local quality. The model first utilized graph compression based on neighbor structure to generate a hierarchical graph structure, and then the node optimal placement algorithm was used to initialize the node coordinates. Next, it improved the local quality of layout using a SGD layout algorithm based on positive and negative samples, and further enhanced the layout speed through multi-level algorithm. Finally, comparative experiments with existing layout models on 30 datasets of different scales demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model in terms of efficiency, layout quality and visualization.
