Springer, Lecture Notes in Computer Science 14466 (part II), pp. 141–149.In Tutte spring embeddings for planar graphs, it is possible to adjust the strengths of the springs and the fixed positions of the vertices on the outer face to obtain an infinite continuous family of straight-line planar embeddings. We experiment with making those adjustments to spread out the features of the drawing to better positions than they would have in the unweighted case.
Visualizing treewidth.

33rd International Symposium on Graph Drawing and Network Visualization.
Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics (LIPIcs) 357, 2025, pp. 17:1–17:20.We experiment with metro-map style visualizations of tree decompositions of graphs. Here, the bags of a tree decomposition are visualized as stations on a metro system, and the vertices of a graph are visualized as metro lines passing through certain stations. Within each bag we display a drawing of the induced subgraph of the bag.
