Graphs provide a versatile model for data from a large variety of application domains, for example, software engineering, telecommunication, and biology. Understanding the information that is represented by the graph is crucial for scientists and engineers to understand critical issues in these domains. Graph visualization is the process of creating a drawing of a graph so that a human can understand the graph. However, the depth of understanding depends on the quality of the graph representation. Good visualization can facilitate efficient visual analysis of the data to detect patterns and trends. Important aspects of the development of graph drawing methods are the efficiency and accuracy of the algorithms, and the quality of the resulting picture. In this chapter, we discuss the geometric properties of good graph visualizations as node-link diagrams, and describe methods for constructing good layouts of graphs.
