What it is

Arc Diagram lays nodes along a single axis and connects them with semi-circular arcs, with thickness encoding strength. It’s the cleanest way to show pairwise relationships when you don’t want a hairball.

What it does

Sorts nodes along a horizontal baseline, draws arcs above (and optionally below), scales nodes by degree, and supports source/target/single/gradient arc colors.

Why use it

When force-directed graphs become noise, arcs let people read every connection in order. Hover to highlight a node's full ego network.

Three ways teams use it.

SaaS

User-to-feature adoption with thick arcs showing the heaviest users.

Supply chain

Co-shipment pairs surfaced for SKUs that travel together.

Research

Co-authorship graph for a journal issue.
