Karen Paffendorf at Rutgers

My master's essay, Automating Software Documentation, is available as a Rutgers Technical Report. (If you are not sure if you want the whole paper, you can just get the abstract.) In it, I compared several graph drawing tools DaVinci, Graphlet, Graphviz, and VCG. I used LATEX to format the paper. I did not know about its GUI interface, LyX at the time. I wish I found this site about writing before I handed in my paper. I did not submit my essay (or a variation thereof) to Graph Drawing '98.

For more infomation on graph drawing, look at Roberto Tamassia 's page . I also a few other links of graph drawing saved in my browser: Geometry In Action, VCG related work, Frick, Mutzel, Brown, KrackPlot, and Richards.
