Before discovering the joys of information access, I worked on graph layout (aka graph drawing), which can generously be called information visualization.
You can find my demonstration applet for JIGGLE (Java Interactive Graph Layout Environment) here, my dissertation
here, and the source code here.
The source code is available for both non-commercial and commercial
use; I only ask that you acknowledge the use of the software and let
me know that you are using it. Besides, you might actually get me to
help you with it that way!
You might also be interested my earlier paper describing a
practical approach to drawing undirected graphs.
