We proposed an optimal layout for small networks that can easily adapt to different aesthetics. For large networks, we proposed a summary representation that provides enough insight into the structure of the network to perform overview tasks, but hides details that could potentially overwhelm the users. We also identified a threshold with respect to network size, beyond which the use of such summary representations is recommended.
