Abstract

The visual interface plays a significant role in a visual programming system. We therefore developed heuristics that improve the readability of control- and data-flow diagrams with many hundreds, and even thousands of nodes. In this paper, we study how the body of research in graph drawing (GD) can be applied to an actual graph-based interface.
