Interactive node-link diagrams are useful for describing and exploring data relationships in many domains such as network analysis transportation planning. We describe a multi-touch interaction technique set (IT set) that focuses on edge interactions diagrams. The includes five techniques (TouchPlucking, TouchPinning, TouchStrumming, TouchBundling PushLens) provides the flexibility to combine them either sequential or simultaneous actions order address congestion.
