Arc Diagram

Arc diagrams display network relationships by placing nodes along a horizontal line and drawing arcs between connected nodes. The height of each arc typically represents the distance between nodes or the strength of the connection. This layout is particularly useful for showing patterns in ordered data, such as character interactions in a story or sequential dependencies in a process.
