maxiter |
Number of iterations to perform in the first phase. |
fineiter |
Number of iterations in the fine tuning phase. |
cool.fact |
Cooling factor. |
weight.node.dist |
Weight for the node-node distances component of the energy function. |

This function implements the algorithm by Davidson and Harel, see Ron Davidson, David Harel: Drawing Graphs Nicely Using Simulated Annealing. ACM Transactions on Graphics 15(4), pp. 301-331, 1996.
The algorithm uses simulated annealing and a sophisticated energy function, which is unfortunately hard to parameterize for different graphs. The original publication did not disclose any parameter values, and the ones below were determined by experimentation.
The algorithm consists of two phases, an annealing phase, and a fine-tuning phase. There is no simulated annealing in the second phase.
Our implementation tries to follow the original publication, as much as possible. The only major difference is that coordinates are explicitly kept within the bounds of the rectangle of the layout.
A two- or three-column matrix, each row giving the coordinates of a vertex, according to the ids of the vertex ids.
