Abstract

The Graph Layout Toolkit and the Graph Layout Toolkit are portable, flexible toolkits for graph layout and graph editing systems. The Graph Layout Toolkit contains four highly customizable layout algorithms, and supports hierarchical graphs. The Graph Editor Toolkit is a tightly coupled interactive front end to the Graph Layout Toolkit.
