latex Drawing graphs TikZ -- Algorithmic graph drawing
Example
TikZ implements several algorithms for automatic graph layouts (requires LuaLaTeX).
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{graphs,graphdrawing,quotes}
\usegdlibrary{force}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\graph[spring layout] {
A -> ["1"] B,
A -> {C, D},
C -> {B, D},
};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
There are several algorithms and many options to influence them. See part IV of the TikZ manual for details.
