OGDF (Open Graph Drawing Framework) is a self-contained C++ class library for the automatic layout of diagrams. OGDF offers sophisticated algorithms and data structures to use within your own applications or scientific projects. The library provides: * A wide range of graph drawing algorithms that allow to reuse and replace particular algorithm phases by using a dedicated module mechanism. * Sophisticated data structures that are commonly used in graph drawing, equipped with rich public interfaces. * Self-contained code that does not require any additional libraries (except for some optional branch-and-cut algorithms).
