<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> [vtkusers] 3d graph
drawing..</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV> <BR> A little off-topic; I am trying to show
relationships using a graph <BR>metaphor. In particular, anybody know of 3D
graph drawing algorithms (or software) <BR>that can do nice layouts?
More important, can such an algorithm take into account <BR>such relationships
and localize the nodes accordingly? For instance if I know there <BR>is a
relationship between 3 or 4 nodes, can the algorithm optimize the layout in
such a way <BR>as to make these nodes fairly close to each other?
<P>Is there a user or mailing list for such problems?
<P>Thanks.
