“…In this thesis, however, I built on innovations and systems that past researchers have explored and used successfully. Ruegg et al have published several papers and technical reports demonstrating diagram compaction and layout algorithms [27,25,26]. Their work was done using the Eclipse Layout Kernel (ELK) [8].…”

This thesis would not have been possible without the guidance and support of many wonderful people.Thank you to my parents Bill and Jingda, and my brother Alex, for dealing with all the ups and downs in my personal life. Thank you for always believing in me and always pushing me forward, no matter how hard things might seem.Thank you to Max Goldman, my thesis advisor, for teaching me many valuable lessons about research and software development, and always helping me get unstuck from everything, from the smallest bug to the biggest design challenge. Thank you to Rob Miller for always providing valuable and helpful feedback at every step of my project. Thank you both for your constant support, as both mentors and instructors, even as classes and research went remote. Thank you to my fellow UP group members for many fun conversations, always reminding me that I'm not alone and that research truly can be a team effort.Thank you to all the friends I've made over the years, and especially to the MIT Syncopasian family, and the not-so-official (yet) MIT osu! club.Finally, thank you to all the staff members of 6.031 for making a huge positive impact on my experience at MIT. Special thanks to everyone who helped me move 6.031 forward by providing feedback on this work.

“…To create drawings that are better suited for common display mediums, e. g. computer screens, a wrapping process is presented, in which the layering of a graph is split into chunks that are to be drawn one below the other (Section 3.3). An accompanying technical report contains further details [RH18b].…”

The area of graph drawing is concerned with positioning the elements of a graph on a canvas such that the resulting drawing is well-readable by humans and aids their execution of certain tasks. While known methods are usually well-studied from a theoretical perspective, both their applicability to graphs from practice and their integration into tools from practice are not always satisfactory. This is due to various reasons, for instance, due to known methods usually solving well-defined, self-contained problems that do not cover all of the bits and pieces that must be considered in practice. There, the diagrams the graphs originate from often comprise more than just simple nodes and simple edges, they tend to be messy and complex, and existing methods regularly compute drawings with poor compactness. This thesis is concerned with improving the well-known layer- based layout approach, originally proposed by Sugiyama et al., and devotes special attention to the requirements of data flow diagrams. It presents new methods for the approach’s layer assignment and coordinate assignment steps, and it identifies and illustrates research tasks that are essential to further better the situation in practice.
