Like Danielle, I agree that hierarchical edge bundling vis described in the paper produces pleasing images, and also shows hierarchy between the connected nodes via the use of colors in a compact space. I am not too sure of how easy it is to understand the resulting visualization in a static image. If this technique were employed in a software, such as was for the Synteny Gene Browser, I can imagine it would be very useful. However, the density of information in a static image is only good for a large scale (coarse, high level) view, with no resolution for small scale viewing.
