Abstract
To reify the concept of layers, multilayer network visualizations often lay out nodes on distinct hyperplanes, one per layer. In this work, we consider the case of a 2D representation where layer nodes are laid out on parallel rectilinear axes. The adoption of classic edge drawing strategies here would lead to much visual clutter due to overlapping inter-layer and intra-layer edges. Moreover, distinguishing between these two types of edges would be fairly difficult. In this preliminary work, we explore the potential of using a hybrid visualization blending the adjacency matrix and node-link metaphors to distinguish undirected intraand inter-layer edges, respectively.We apply this approach to the analysis of bibliographic data, and discuss current limitations.
