Specifically, force-directed layout using the stress-majorization method subject to separation constraints. Applications include layout with non-overlapping nodes and clusters, directed graph layout and layout preserving the crossing properties of a given starting layout. + +libcola is part of the +<a href="http://www.adaptagrams.org/">Adaptagrams project</a>. +There are no official releases yet, though the code is stable and +available from the Adaptagrams +<a href="https://github.com/mjwybrow/adaptagrams">GitHub +repository</a>. + +The API is documented using Doxygen. The documentation you are currently +reading can be obtained by running doxygen in the cola directory. + +libcola is written and maintained by +<a href="http://users.monash.edu/~mwybrow/">Michael Wybrow</a> and +<a href="http://ialab.it.monash.edu/~dwyer/">Tim Dwyer</a>, +members of <a href="http://ialab.it.monash.edu/">Immersive Analytics Lab</a> at Monash University, Australia. + +The algorithms used for ConstrainedFDLayout are described in the following papers.
