Version [1.0]- HAT-VIS — A MATLAB-based hypergraph visualization tool

HAT-VIS is a hypergraph visualization tool designed within the MATLAB environment, serving to depict the inherent relationships present within hypergraphs. The current scarcity of MATLAB tools dedicated to the analysis and visualization of hypergraphs necessitated the development of the HAT-VIS, which can be an independent, standalone tool or integrated within the HAT: Hypergraph Analysis Toolbox and other MATLAB libraries. HAT-VIS offers a valuable resource for visualizing hypergraphs by leveraging vertex similarities through multidimensional scaling, providing additional interpretable insights based on the location of vertices, in contrast to the predominantly employed forced layout techniques in existing hypergraph visualization tools. The proposed tool can be used to inform decision making by discovering relationships between vertices. The applicability of HAT-VIS is demonstrated through an illustrative case study on the development of electric vehicles.
