Network Visualizations are a good choice for data that cannot be easily captured using a tree structure. In addition to simply showing where items connect, users often want to know about shortest or least costly paths connecting two items or transversing the entire network.
Examples of network visualizations include: adjacency list, node-link diagram, hive plot, dependency graph, alluvial diagram, matrix, and subway map
