Abstract
A method for automatically generating, in real-time, for display on a display, a simplified network layout from an initial network layout including one or more lines each connecting a plurality of nodes. Graph information is provided indicating vertices representing geographic positions of the nodes and edges representing connections between the nodes. The nodes are repositioned to optimize an objective function based on readability of the simplified network layout. Nodes and edges are discretized using interpolation to align a plurality of the nodes and connect the aligned nodes using simplified k-linear segments, where k-linear segments are parallel to one of k equidistant orientations whose angles are multiples of 180/k degrees, with k larger or equal to two. The simplified network layout is provided for a display.
