We describe here a collection of heuristics for produc ing "nice"- drawings of directed graphs, and a simple dual-mode software tool for testing and evaluating them. In playing mode, the heuristics are applied in random sequence over a set of drawings, in the manner of an asynchronous team (A-team). As new drawings are added to the set, others are deleted based on a multi-valued aesthetic evaluation function. By inspecting the "pedigree" of the best solutions foun d in playing mode, the user can obtain insights into the best order in which the heuristics should be a pplied. Then the user can test these insights in the working mode, where the heuristics are applied in a fixed sequence . Some of the heuristics that we describe here are sim ilar to the steps of Sugiyama's D-ABDUCTOR graph-drawing package; and indeed we can obtain results simila r to those of D-ABDUCTOR, by applying our heuristics in the proper sequence. |
