Graph drawing

This book constitutes the strictly refereed post-conference proceedings of the International Symposium on Graph Drawing, GD'96, held in Berkeley, California, in September 1996. The 24 revised full papers and the 8 systems demonstrations presented in the book were carefully selected from a total of 50 papers and 24 demos submitted. Also included is a summary of the annual graph drawing competition. Among the topics covered are planarity, upward and orthogonal drawing, heuristics, experimental results, and graph drawing systems.
