Overview of the Layout Phases

The task of aiSee is to parse a graph specification, calculate a layout according to the layout algorithm chosen, and draw the resulting layout in a window.   The specification given as input to aiSee is a readable ASCII text. The output window can be used to browse through the graph, shrink or magnify the graph, fold parts of the graph, and export the graph to a bitmap or PostScript file.       Graph folding potentially results in a new layout of the graph. The layout can be extensively influenced by edge, node and graph attributes or by different layout algorithms. aiSee offers force-directed and hierarchical layout schemes.
