The following documentation may provide helpful information when using Rogue Wave Views Graph Layout.
Books
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:
Diestel, Reinhard. Graph Theory. 2nd ed. Springer-Verlag, 2000.
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).
Bibliographies
A comprehensive bibliographic database of papers in computational geometry (including graph layout) can be found in:
The Geometry Literature Database

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).
Journals
The following is an electronic journal:

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