Project Overview

Project name: Better Graph Layout for the Graph Theory IDE

Rocs (https://kde.org/applications/education/rocs) is a Graph Theory IDE for experimenting with graphs and graph algorithms in a visual way. It is very useful for teachers, students and researchers. Teachers and students can use Rocs to follow the execution of graph algorithms step by step, with visual indications in the graph itself. Researchers can use Rocs to explore graphs easily and experiment with new algorithms and concepts.

Clear visualization of graphs is very important to the effectiveness of Rocs as a tool. The goal of this project is to improve graph visualization in Rocs, providing constrained graph layout algorithms [2] and the necessary user interface. This would benefit users by letting them explore different ways to visualize their graphs in an automatic way.
