Graphsare often visualized by node-link diagrams with nodes as entities and links between them as connections. The centralaspect of graph visualization is layout generation, which assigns every node a position on a 2D-plane for drawing.The main challenges to graph visualization are scalability, readability, and aesthetics. For a detailed overview ofgraph visualization and its applications, we refer interested readers to the following surveys [16, 11, 15, 4, 24].
