Placing Arrows in Directed Graph Drawings

Data Structures and Algorithms 2016-08-31 v1

Abstract

We consider the problem of placing arrow heads in directed graph drawings without them overlapping other drawn objects. This gives drawings where edge directions can be deduced unambiguously. We show hardness of the problem, present exact and heuristic algorithms, and report on a practical study.
