Abstract Graph drawing aesthetics have traditionally been optimized for human readers, leading to well‐established principles such as reducing edge crossings, enhancing symmetry, and minimizing bends. These criteria shape layout algorithms and define what “readability” means in network visualization.

Guardrail Selection in Line Charts to Contextualize Persuasive Visualizations
Abstract Charts used for persuasion can easily veer into being outright misleading when, for instance, cherry‐picked data is paired with a deceptive caption, as is commonly encountered on social media. The rise of interactive time‐series data explorers for hotly debated topics makes such framing easy to produce and spread.

Evaluating Encodings for Bivariate Edges in Adjacency Matrices
Abstract We present the first empirical evaluation of techniques for encoding distributions of quantitative edge values within adjacency matrices. In many real‐world networks, edges represent not a single value but a set of measurements. While adjacency matrices preserve structural clarity, their compact cells limit the simultaneous display of multiple

Investigating Performance and Practices with Univariate Distribution Charts
Abstract A range of charts with different strengths and weaknesses exists to support the visual analysis of univariate distributions, with a limited understanding of which charts best support which tasks and users, and how practitioners use charts. We categorize the available charts for univariate distributions into four groups and present the results ...

The Story(line) So Far: A Survey on Storyline Visualization
Abstract Storyline visualizations model narratives as temporal networks, using x‐monotone lines to represent entities and their interactions over time. This technique offers an intuitive way to reveal structural patterns over time, such as character co‐occurrence and narrative flow.

HySE: A Force‐Directed Layout Algorithm for Directed and Mixed Graphs
We present HySE, a novel graph layout algorithm for mixed graphs combining directed and undirected components. Using a holistic spring embedder approach, HySE unifies hierarchical and force‐directed aesthetics, supports non‐uniform node sizes, and performs comparably to state‐of‐the‐art algorithms.
