Networks are used to relate topological structure to system dynamics and function, particularly in ecology systems biology. Network analysis is often guided or complemented by data-driven visualization. Hive one of many network visualizations, distinguish themselves as providing a general, consistent and coherent rule-based representation to motivate hypothesis development and testing.
Here, we present HyPE, Hive Panel Explorer, a software application that creates a panel of interactive hive plots. HyPE enables network exploration based on user-driven layout rules and parameter combinations for simultaneous of multiple network views. We demonstrate HyPE's features by exploring a microbial co-occurrence network constructed from forest soil microbiomes.

网络被用于将拓扑结构与系统动力学和功能联系起来，特别是在生态系统生物学中。网络分析通常由数据驱动的可视化来指导或补充。蜂巢图是众多网络图之一，其特点是提供了一种通用的、一致的、基于规则的表示方法，以激发假说的开发和测试。
在这里，我们介绍了 HyPE，即蜂巢图面板探索器，这是一个软件应用程序，它创建了一个交互式蜂巢图面板。HyPE 基于用户驱动的布局规则和参数组合，为同时探索多个网络图提供了支持。我们通过探索从森林土壤微生物组中构建的微生物共现网络，展示了 HyPE 的功能。
