摘要:
Automatically arranging the nodes and edges of a graph to make a pleasing picture is an important research area in visualization.The layout algorithm based on force-directed model,also known as spring embedders,have attracted many attentions and have become very popular in drawing undirected graphs.We divide the related work about the layout algorithm based on forcedirected model into five categories:basic model,multidimensional scaling layout,multi-level layout,non-Euclidean layout,and constrained graph layout.We introduce the classical method,the research progress and the branch area of each category,and discuss the future work and challenges.
