Graph Drawing Software

After an introduction to the subject area and a concise treatment of the technical foundations for the subsequent chapters, this book features 14 chapters on state-of-the-art graph drawing software systems, ranging from general "tool boxes'' to customized software for various applications. These chapters are written by leading experts: they follow a uniform scheme and can be read independently from each other. The text covers many industrial applications.

Useful for readers who want to visualize graphs as representing structural knowledge in a variety of fields.

This book is useful for readers who want to visualize graphs as representing structural knowledge in a variety of fields. It gives an outline of the whole field, describes in detail the representative methods for drawing graphs, explains extensions such as fisheye and dynamic drawing, presents many practical applications, and discusses ways of evaluation. It makes the intuitive understanding of these easier by using examples and diagrams, and provides a wealth of references for those readers who wish to know more.

Suitable as either a textbook or reference manual, this book describes fundamental algorithmic techniques for constructing drawings of graphs. Exercises are included at the end of each chapter.

This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 18th International Symposium on Graph Drawing, GD 2010, held in Konstanz, Germany, during September 2010. The 30 revised full papers presented together with 5 revised short and 8 poster papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 77 submissions. The volume also contains a detailed report about the 17th Annual Graph Drawing Contest, held as a satellite event of GD 2010. Devoted both to theoretical advances as well as to implemented solutions, the papers are concerned with the geometric representation of graphs and networks and are motivated by those applications where it is crucial to visualize structural information as graphs.

The 11th International Symposium on Graph Drawing (GD 2003) was held on September 21–24, 2003, at the Universit` a degli Studi di Perugia, Perugia, Italy. GD 2003 attracted 93 participants from academic and industrial institutions in 17 countries. In response to the call for papers, the program committee received 88 re- larsubmissionsdescribingoriginalresearchand/orsystemdemonstrations.Each submission was reviewed by at least 4 program committee members and c- ments were returned to the authors. Following extensive e-mail discussions, the program committee accepted 34 long papers (12 pages each in the proceedings) and 11 short papers (6 pages each in the proceedings). Also, 6 posters (2 pages each in the proceedings) were displayed in the conference poster gallery. In addition to the 88 submissions, the program committee also received a submission of special type, one that was not competing with the others for a time slot in the conference program and that collects selected open problems in graph drawing. The aim of this paper, which was refereed with particular care andUNCHANGEDtworoundsofrevisions,istostimulatefutureresearchinthe graph drawing community. The paper presents 42 challenging open problems in di?erentareasofgraphdrawingandcontainsmorethan120references.Although the length of the paper makes it closer to a journal version than to a conference extended abstract, we decided to include it in the conference proceedings so that it could easily reach in a short time the vast majority of the graph drawing community.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 12th International Symposium on Graph Drawing, GD 2004, held in New York, NY, USA in September/October 2004. The 39 revised full papers and 12 revised short papers presented together with 4 posters and a report on the graph drawing context were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement. All current aspects in graph drawing are addressed ranging from foundational and methodological issues to applications for various classes of graphs in a variety of fields.
