Abstract

Graphs in the computer science are widely used in social network analysis, computer networks, transportation networks, and many other areas. In general, they can visualize relationships between objects. However, fast drawing of graphs with readable layouts is still a challenge. This paper aims to the speed up the original Fruchterman-Reingold graph layout algorithm by computing repulsive forces only between vertices that are near each other. A new approach based on the selected space-filling curves is described.
