Spatialize

Interactive hypergraph visualization for Molten


This document describes Molten Spatialize , an interactive visualization system for hypergraph exploration.


Invoke

Run the spatialize visualization:

bazel run //Molten/system/spatialize:command

This opens an interactive window displaying hypergraph state with real-time layout simulation.


Panes

Toggle between visualization modes:

Pane Description Key
Relation Edge and node relationships Tab
Inference Derivation and inference paths Tab

Controls

Action Control
Pan Left click + drag
Rotate Middle click + drag / Control + drag
Zoom Scroll wheel / pinch
Select Right click

View

Action Control
Toggle pane Tab
Relation pane R
Inference pane I
Deselect Escape

Layout

Force-directed layout simulation positions nodes and edges automatically. The simulation uses:

  • Repulsion between nodes
  • Attraction along edges
  • Boundary constraints
