Mapping a Graph (with Examples)

• Mapping graph: a graph is composed of nodes and edges, where nodes and edges may be labeled. In the case where numbers are used, see these number mapping rules.
  • A node of a graph can be represented by an object (text, 2D, or 3D).
  • An edge of a graph represents a relation among nodes. This relation can be represented using Figure 6 in this tutorial. The Connection method works well for most cases. Encapsulation is most effective when inside a space (i.e., the architecturl genre). Otherwise, encapsulation leads to complex human interaction (i.e., in sculpture). Using music (i.e., the Aural column) is an effective way to augment, not replace, the visual modes.
• Genres (which can be mixed together to form hybrids)
  • Sculpture: nodes are objects and edges connect them
  • Architecture (landscape): nodes are objects and edges are pathways
  • Architecture (building): nodes are spaces and edges connect spaces.
  • Theatre & Dance: nodes are people and edges connect people
• Inputs and Outputs: some graphs accept input and produce output. One may use the guidelines in number mapping rules to assist with mapping human interaction.
