Get an In-Depth Understanding of Graph Drawing Techniques,
Algorithms, Software, and Applications The Handbook of Graph
Drawing and Visualization provides a broad, up-to-date survey of
the field of graph drawing. It covers topological and geometric
foundations, algorithms, software systems, and visualization
applications in business, education, science, and engineering. Each
chapter is self-contained and includes extensive references. The
first several chapters of the book deal with fundamental
topological and geometric concepts and techniques used in graph
drawing, such as planarity testing and embedding, crossings and
planarization, symmetric drawings, and proximity drawings. The
following chapters present a large collection of algorithms for
constructing drawings of graphs, including tree, planar
straight-line, planar orthogonal and polyline, spine and radial,
circular, rectangular, hierarchical, and three-dimensional drawings
as well as labeling algorithms, simultaneous embeddings, and
force-directed methods. The book then introduces the GraphML
language for representing graphs and their drawings and describes
three software systems for constructing drawings of graphs: OGDF,
GDToolkit, and PIGALE. The final chapters illustrate the use of
graph drawing methods in visualization applications for biological
networks, computer security, data analytics, education, computer
networks, and social networks. Edited by a pioneer in graph drawing
and with contributions from leaders in the graph drawing research
community, this handbook shows how graph drawing and visualization
can be applied in the physical, life, and social sciences. Whether
you are a mathematics researcher, IT practitioner, or software
developer, the book will help you understand graph drawing methods
and graph visualization systems, use graph drawing techniques in
your research, and incorporate graph drawing solutions in your
products.
