Abstract
Many applications feature large hierarchic dynamic graphs that change over time. Often, these changes are more important than the graphs themselves.In our approach, areas of interests in dynamic graphs are detected based on user preferences. The user is guided from one area of interest to another in such a way that reduced contextual information is shown. To this end, dynamic graph layout mechanisms are extended by a reprocessing that decides what to show and a post processing that stages the animation based on spatial information.
