An Interactive Graph Theory System

  • Chapter
Advanced Computer Graphics

Abstract

The medium of computer graphics provides a capability for dealing with pictures in man-machine communication. Graph theory is used to model relationships which are represented by pictures and is therefore an appropriate discipline for the application of an interactive computer graphics system. Previous efforts to solve graph theoretic problems by computer have usually involved specialized programs written in a symbolic assembly language or algebraic compiler language.

This paper, written for the Advanced Research Projects Agency under ARPA Order Number 1228, describes work done at the Moore School of Electrical Engineering, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for Rome Air Development Center and the Information Systems Branch of the Naval Research under Contract Nonr 551(40).
