Abstract

We introduce a new graph drawing convention for 3D hierarchical drawings of directed graphs. The vertex set is partitioned into layers of vertices drawn in parallel planes. The vertex set is further partitioned into k ≥ 2 subsets, called walls. The layout consists of a set of parallel walls which are perpendicular to the set of parallel planes of the layers. We also outline a method for computing such layouts and introduce four alternative algorithms for partitioning the vertex set into walls which address different aesthetic requirements.
