Using a new string representation, we develop two algorithms for generating nonisomorphic
chord diagrams. Experimental evidence indicates that the latter of the two algorithms runs in
constant amortized time. In addition, we use simple counting techniques to derive a formula
for the number of nonisomorphic chord diagrams.
