An interactive multi-user system for simultaneous graph drawing

Published: 29 September 2004 Publication History

Abstract

In this paper we consider the problem of simultaneous drawing of two graphs. The goal is to produce aesthetically pleasing drawings for the two graphs by means of a heuristic algorithm and with human assistance. Our implementation uses the DiamondTouch table, a multi-user, touch-sensitive input device, to take advantage of direct physical interaction of several users working collaboratively. The system can be downloaded at http://dt.cs.arizona.edu where it is also available as an applet.
