WilmaScope — A 3D Graph Visualization System

  • Chapter
Graph Drawing Software

Part of the book series: Mathematics and Visualization ((MATHVISUAL))

Abstract

Despite, or perhaps because of, the extensive research literature on graph drawing techniques, there is a lack of state-of-the-art, general purpose visualization systems, particularly for application to three-dimensional embeddings.
