Claim Text:
1. A display apparatus adapted to display a plurality of graph structures by aggregating the plurality of graph structures into a single graph structure, wherein each of the graph structures is made up of a plurality of elements, and wherein the display apparatus comprises: an acquisition hardware unit adapted to acquire a plurality of graph structures, wherein the acquisition hardware unit acquires the plurality of graph structures at a plurality of time points in a time series; a distinguishing hardware unit adapted to distinguish the plurality of elements between unchanged elements that have not changed in the plurality of graph structures and changed elements that have changed with transition between/among the plurality of graph structures; an aggregating hardware unit adapted to aggregate the plurality of graph structures; and a display hardware unit adapted to display the aggregated graph structure such that the unchanged elements and the changed elements will be identifiable, wherein the display hardware unit displays a position of any node that has been changed with transition, between/among the plurality of graph structures, by moving the position in the aggregated graph structure.
