The block layout organizes nodes in a grid-like structure, making it ideal for viewing structured relationships and conducting link analysis. Brighter edges (arrows) indicate either a link node that is a shared result of multiple parents, or an intermediate node that has children. Darker arrows indicate nodes that haven’t been pivoted upon yet.
The circle layout arranges nodes in a circular pattern, providing a balanced view that emphasizes connections and makes it easy to identify central nodes.
The hierarchical layout organizes nodes in a top-down tree structure, beneficial for understanding parent-child relationships.
To change layouts, right-click on the graph and select your preferred layout option from the menu, or use the layout selector on the left of the bottom pane.
When zoomed out considerably, Intrace automatically switches to simplified view modes optimized for large-scale data visualization. These views are available in every layout and provide enhanced visibility of network structure at a high level.
Icon view displays nodes as enlarged icons with a key at the bottom of the screen, making it easy to identify node types and understand the overall structure of large networks. Parent and intermediate nodes are enlarged to emphasize hierarchical relationships.
Ball view provides a simplified visualization where nodes appear as colored circles without icons. Like icon view, it includes a key at the bottom and enlarges parent and intermediate nodes.
These views automatically activate when you zoom out significantly, helping you maintain performance and clarity when working with large datasets containing thousands of nodes.
