[comp.software-eng] drawing Directed Acyclic Graphs

lws@comm.wang.com (Lyle Seaman) (05/07/91)

I'm putting together a little one-off, and I need an algorithm
(source would be especially nice) that, given a DAG, chooses
chooses a placement of nodes on a plane, such that there is a
minimal number of edge crossings.   Optimal is NOT necessary,
nor is speed.

This is basically the same problem that circuit layout programs
face, only I don't need as high-quality a solution.
