The following documentation may provide helpful information when using Rogue Wave Views Graph Layout.

The first book dedicated to graph layout has been published:

Di Battista, Giuseppe, Peter Eades, Roberto Tamassia, and Ioannis G. Tollis. Graph Drawing: Algorithms for the Visualization of Graphs. Prentice Hall, 1999 (see http://www.cs.brown.edu/people/rt/gdbook.html or http://www.prenhall.com/books/esm_0133016153.html).

Graph layout is closely related to graph theory, for which extensive literature exists. See:

Clark, John and Derek Allan Holton. A First Look at Graph Theory. World Scientific Publishing Company, 1991.

For a mathematics-oriented introduction to graph theory, see:

A more algorithmic approach may be found in:

Gibbons, Alan. Algorithmic Graph Theory. Cambridge University Press, 1985.

Gondran, Michel and Michel Minoux. Graphes et algorithmes, 3rd ed. Eyrolles, Paris, 1995 (in French).

A comprehensive bibliographic database of papers in computational geometry (including graph layout) can be found in:

A recommended bibliographic survey paper is the following:

Di Battista, Giuseppe, Peter Eades, Roberto Tamassia, and Ioannis G. Tollis. “Algorithms for Drawing Graphs: an Annotated Bibliography.” Computational Geometry: Theory and Applications 4 (1994): 235-282 (also available at http://www.cs.brown.edu/people/rt/gd-biblio.html).

The following is an electronic journal:

Journal of Graph Algorithms and Applications

Special issues of the following journals are dedicated to graph drawing:

Computational Geometry: Theory and Applications
(http://www.elsevier.nl/inca/publications/store/5/0/5/6/2/9/ )

Journal of Visual Languages and Computing
(http://www.academicpress.com/jvlc)

The following journals occasionally publish papers on graph layout:

Information Processing Letters
(http://www.elsevier.nl/inca/publications/store/5/0/5/6/1/2/)

Computer-aided Design
(http://www.elsevier.nl/inca/publications/store/3/0/4/0/2/)

IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering
(http://www.computer.org/tse/)

Many papers are presented at many conferences in Combinatorics and Computer Science.

An annual Symposium on Graph Drawing has been held since 1992. The proceedings are published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series (for 1999 see, for example, http://link.springer.de/link/service/series/0558/tocs/t1731.htm). The 2000 Symposium is being held in Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia (see http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~gd2000/).
