Angular Schematization in Graph Drawing

In the present time, increasing amounts of data becomes available to applications for all kinds. Data that describes relationships between objects is frequently modelled by a graph. For a human being to efficiently process the data, it is of common interest to visualize structural information. The field of graph drawing deals with the visualization of graphs and networks in a way to convey the information quickly and to be aesthetically appealing. This book deals with angular schematization in graph drawing, that is, computing the layout of a graph under angular restrictions. It considers several different drawing styles and shows how to compute drawings that help the reader to comprehend the underlying data.
