Abstract

Graphs are one of several abstract topics presented in teaching of computer science at university. Graphs are part of various subjects such as optimization, compilers, networks, etc. Main objective of this paper is to present online application aimed at graph visualization. Implemented tool can be also used as a translator between various formats of graph description - adjacency matrix, graph6 format and diagram of graph. The greatest emphasis was placed on functionalities which are lacking in other online tools for similar purposes - mainly method of graphical representation of graph, possibility of various forms of input for graphical representation and possibility of multiple graphs on the input for simultaneous visualization of set of graphs.
