## Abstract

This paper describes a system for Graph dRawing with Intelligent Placement, ${\rm {\tt GRIP}}$. The system is designed for drawing large graphs and uses a novel multi-dimensional force-directed method together with fast energy function minimization. The system allows for drawing graphs with tens of thousands of vertices in under a minute on a mid-range PC. To the best of the authors' knowledge ${\rm {\tt GRIP}}$ surpasses the fastest previous algorithms. However, speed is not achieved at the expense of quality as the resulting drawings are quite aesthetically pleasing.
