Creating a Netgraph Visualization

By clicking the "Netgraph View" Button, an adjacency matrix (netgraph) visualization of the communication flow is generated.

Users can select by which attributes they want to group the actors in their netgraph. In this example, as we are looking at e-mail, we have the organizations and domainnames as natural attributes.

Users can change the sorting order of the domain, and select demarcation groups (after those groups a separating line is drawn in the netgraph.

In the 2nd step the attributes (domains in this example) between whom interaction should be shown are chosen.

In the 3rd step the colors for the interactions (actor 1 talks to actor 2) are chosen.

In the 4th and final step the netgraph is drawn. Clicking on an interaction (a square in the netgraph) displays who is talking with whom, and how many times)
