Abstract

In this paper we consider the problem of simultaneous drawing of two graphs. The goal is to produce aesthetically pleasing drawings for the two graphs by means of a heuristic algorithm and with human assistance. Our implementation uses the DiamondTouch table, a multi-user, touch-sensitive input device, to take advantage of direct physical interaction of several users working collaboratively. The system can be downloaded at http://dt.cs.arizona.edu where it is also available as an applet. This work is partially supported by the NSF under grant ACR-0222920 and by ITCDI under grant 003297.
