Abstract
Disclosed embodiments relate to the graphical display of relationships between entities of interest, and specifically between entities in a network of relationships. In such embodiments, multiple icons on an axis between two entities are used to indicate that the entities have multiple relationships. Disclosed embodiments also provide methods of navigating, filtering, and manipulating the display of networked relationships, according to the numerical distribution of relationships and specific combinations of relationships. Disclosed embodiments provide methods of manipulating the display of networked relationships so that relationships between entities can be visually collapsed, and entities can be treated as links between other entities for the purposes of filtering and display.
