Phylogenetic tree

In a rooted phylogenetic tree, each node with descendants represents the inferred most recent common ancestor of the descendants, and the edge lengths in some trees may be interpreted as time estimates. Each node is called a taxonomic unit. Internal nodes are generally called hypothetical taxonomic units, as they cannot be directly observed. Trees are useful in fields of biology such as bioinformatics, systematics, and comparative phylogenetics. Unrooted trees illustrate only the relatedness of the leaf nodes and do not require the ancestral root to be known or inferred. History[edit] Charles Darwin (1859) also produced one of the first illustrations and crucially popularized the notion of an evolutionary "tree" in his seminal book The Origin of Species. Types[edit] Rooted tree[edit] Unrooted tree[edit] Unrooted trees illustrate the relatedness of the leaf nodes without making assumptions about ancestry. Bifurcating tree[edit] total rooted trees and total unrooted trees, where leaves.[4]

Tree structure A tree structure showing the possible hierarchical organization of an encyclopedia. The original Encyclopédie used a tree diagram to show the way in which its subjects were ordered. A tree structure is a way of representing the hierarchical nature of a structure in a graphical form. It is named a "tree structure" because the classic representation resembles a tree, even though the chart is generally upside down compared to an actual tree, with the "root" at the top and the "leaves" at the bottom. Terminology and properties[edit] The names of relationships between nodes are modeled after family relations. A node's "parent" is a node one step higher in the hierarchy (i.e. closer to the root node) and lying on the same branch." In the example, "encyclopedia" is the parent of "science" and "culture", its children. Examples of tree structures[edit] Representing trees[edit] There are many ways of visually representing tree structures. Classical node-link diagrams[edit] Nested sets[edit]

M.A. Thesis Visual tools for the socio–semantic web This thesis contributes to a new discipline of science: web science, as introduced by Tim Berners-Lee and others in 2006. Designers, computer scientists, sociologists, cognitive scientists, psychologists etc. have individual perspectives on the complex and rapidly evolving interplay of technological and social infrastructure and human society. Master’s Thesis Interface Design Programme University of Applied Sciences Potsdam Moritz Stefaner, June 2007 Supervisors: Prof. Best Masters Thesis at FH Potsdam in 2007 Analysis The analytical part defines the technological and social context of interface design for personal information management applications. These findings shed a new light on our understanding of content, hypertext and metadata. Guidelines I proceed by deriving design maximes from these observations: These guidelines and hypotheses from the analytical part were both generated and illustrated with interactive visualizations: Elastic tag maps

Walrus - Graph Visualization Tool Source Code Available The source code to Walrus is now available under the GNU GPL. You may download the source code below. Description Walrus is a tool for interactively visualizing large directed graphs in three-dimensional space. Walrus computes its layout based on a user-supplied spanning tree. Walrus uses 3D hyperbolic geometry to display graphs under a fisheye-like distortion. Walrus is being developed by Young Hyun at CAIDA. Applicability Please note that Walrus currently has the following requirements, restrictions, or limitations which may render it unsuitable for a given problem domain or dataset: Only directed graphs are supported.Only connected graphs with reachable nodes are supported. Galleries The following galleries show graphs of various sizes and complexity. Implemented Features Features Under Consideration more options for coloring objects (such as with a perceptually uniform colorscale)filtering and other interactive processing Requirements Download Changes References

Introduction to Circos, Features and Uses // CIRCOS Circular Genome Data Visualization Infographics news Information design Information design is the practice of presenting information in a way that fosters efficient and effective understanding of it. The term has come to be used specifically for graphic design for displaying information effectively, rather than just attractively or for artistic expression. Information design is closely related to the field of data visualization and is often taught as part of graphic design courses.[1] Etymology[edit] The term 'information design' emerged as a multidisciplinary area of study in the 1970s. In 1982, Edward Tufte produced a book on information design called The Visual Display of Quantitative Information. The term information graphics tends to be used by those primarily concerned with diagramming and display of quantitative information. In technical communication, information design refers to creating an information structure for a set of information aimed at specified audiences.
