To view and explore different parts of a large graph (the entire graph is initially shown), stream graphs can expand and collapse its hierarchical structures (pipelines, splitjoins, and feedbackloops).  A stream graph can be navigated in several ways:

 

 

The various ways to navigate the graph are provided for scalability (when the graph is large, navigating takes on more importance), flexibility, and efficiency.
