Explore a large network one region at a time

A network can contain every connection and still be impossible to read at once. This lab asks whether a smaller view can stay faithful to the whole graph. Open one region, inspect a node, and check the original connections behind it. All data here is synthetic.

Start with 1,000 vertices (nodes), then try 10,000. Each node has five outgoing edges (connections). Preparation analyzes the graph in a background worker; selecting a prepared node only updates the reading and highlight. Use Measure 50 selections to test that response on your browser. The p95 result is the time within which 95% of the measured selections finished, not a guarantee for every device.

Preparation starts in a worker after this page mounts.

What to check in the result

Open a node to inspect its original connections and required predecessors. Change the overview to see how it groups the same source graph. The export retains that graph, including connections hidden in the drawing.

The timing controls measure this browser’s response. To learn whether the overview helps people understand a network, we would also need to compare their accuracy and diagnosis time with other charts.
