Abstract

In this paper we adress the problem of finding the best viewpoints for three-dimensional straight-line graph drawings. We define goodness in terms of preserving the relational structure of the graph, and develop two continuous measures of goodness under othographic parallel projection. We develop Voronoi variants to find the best viewpoints under these measures, and present results on the complexity of these diagrams.
