Abstract

In this paper we introduce a framework for producing circular drawings in which the groupings are user-defined. These types of drawings can be used in applications for telecommunications, computer networks, social network analysis, project management, and more. This fast approach produces drawings in which the user-defined groupings are highly visible, each group is laid out with a low number of edge crossings, and the number of crossings between intra-group and inter-group edges is low.
