What Is the Best Software for Drawing Graph Theory Networks?

Click For Summary
Graph theory network drawing software is sought for efficiently visualizing networks with minimized wire crossings, particularly for Boolean circuit networks. Graphviz is recommended as a potential solution, though its suitability for specific needs is uncertain. Users are encouraged to explore Graphviz for its capabilities in constructing equivalent networks. The discussion emphasizes the importance of minimizing crossings in graph representations. Finding the right software can significantly enhance the clarity and functionality of network designs.

Can anyone recommend me software for efficiently drawing graphs? By graphs, I mean graphs from graph theory, i.e. pictoral representation of a network with edges and vertices.

I need to minimize the wire crossings in a certain Boolean circuit network I have developed. If the software can construct an equivalent network that minimizes the number of crossings, that would be deeply appreciated.

Thanks.

I don't know if it meets your particular requirements, but Graphviz is pretty good:

Thread 'Area of Overlapping Squares'

Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
