Abstract

This paper reports on a formal user study on visual encodings ofnetworks with multiple edge types in adjacency matrices. Our tasksand conditions were inspired by real problems in computationalbiology. We focus on encodings in adjacency matrices, selectingfour designs from a potentially huge design s...
