绘制有向非循环图:最小化边缘交叉?

如果没有高效的Sugiyama等图形绘制算法,以树形形式(即顶部没有边缘的垂直,仅依赖于下一层的垂直等)在DAG中布局垂直是相当简单的。然而,有没有一个简单的算法来做到这一点,以最小化边缘交叉?(对于某些图形,可能无法完全消除边缘交叉。)一张图片表示一千个单词,因此是否有一种算法可以建议 something without crossing edges . ( compared to this )

编辑:结果

我接受了Senthil的建议graphviz/dot——快速查看文档可以确认这很容易 use it as a library or external tool 和 the output format is surprisingly easy to parse . 然而,我最终选择了使用 GraphSharp 相反,因为我已经在使用.NET等(尽管它肯定没有dot那么强大)。结果是“足够好”,通过一点边缘布线和调整(模糊的文本是因为 3.5 WPF )

这里是 完成 C代码(这是所有引用Quickgraph或graphsharp的代码——是的;非常简单):
