"TutteEmbedding" (Graph Layout Method)

Details & Suboptions

  • The Tutte embedding is a graph-drawing technique to position vertices of a graph so that the outer face is a convex polygon and each interior vertex is at the mean of the positions of its adjacent vertices.
  • The Tutte embedding is typically used to lay out planar graphs.

Examples

Basic Examples  (2)

Place vertices without crossing edges and minimize the sum of distances to neighbors:

"TutteEmbedding" works for 3-connected planar graphs only:
