Graph-theoretic Graphics

  • Chapter
Handbook of Data Visualization

Part of the book series: Springer Handbooks Comp.Statistics ((SHCS))

Abstract

This chapter will cover the uses of graphs for making graphs. This overloading of terms is an unfortunate historical circumstance that conflated graph-of-a-function usage with graph-of-vertices-and-edges usage. Vertex-edge graphs have long been understood as fundamental to the development of algorithms. It has become increasingly evident that vertex-edge graphs are also fundamental to the development of statistical graphics and visualizations.
