Radius degree layout — Fast and easy graph visualization layout

Abstract

In this paper we describe fast and easy graph visualization layout we developed. We called it radius degree layout (RDL). RDL can be used for static and also for dynamic (interactive) visualization. RDL is easy to implement in 2D and 3D visualization, it is CPU efficient, also for large graphs, and we can easily orientate in graph using it. In this paper we describe RDL philosophy, implementation, testing with examples, practical using and the enhanced version with modified force directed layout.
