Graph Drawing

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 9th International Symposium on Graph Drawing, GD 2001, held in Vienna, Austria, in September 2001.The 32 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 66 paper submissions. Also included are a corrected version of a paper from the predecessor volume, short reports on the software systems exhibition, two papers of the special session on graph exchange formats, and a report on the annual graph drawing contests. The papers are organized in topical sections on hierarchical drawing, planarity, crossing theory, compaction, planar graphs, symmetries, interactive drawing, representations, aesthetics, 2D- and 3D-embeddings, data visualization, floor planning, and planar drawing.
