Product update: streamline sequential data with new link options

Whether you’re managing a complex IT infrastructure or untangling relationships between companies and their subsidiaries, graph visualization is the best way to see and understand hierarchies in data.

KeyLines 8.1 and ReGraph 5.1, our graph visualization toolkits, bring new link options that make it easier than ever to navigate your tiered data.

New angled links for clearer charts

Links are a critical part of any graph visualization, representing the relationships and connections between nodes.

Our new angled link shapes create clear, orthogonal branching paths for hierarchical data like IT infrastructure maps or organizational charts. They make it easier to visualize multi-level dependencies and relationships, reducing clutter and giving a clear view of hierarchical structures.

Direct, curved or angled links? Or all three?

We’ve extended the way you can specify link styles to be even more flexible. You can now assign link path shapes for individual links, combining different shapes to show a variety of relationships. It’s an effective way to tell a clear and compelling story with your data.

For large, multi-layered datasets, you can combine angled links with combos, our smart node grouping functionality, to control the level of detail you need to see:

Highlight key paths and connections with link prioritization

When charts get really cluttered and complex, link prioritization lets you choose which paths or connections sit above the others, making it easy to pick out a pattern of activity or a critical sequence:
