Comparison of Generated Diagrams with Graphviz and Tulip

Comparison of Diagrams

Tulip is another data visualization tool which offers big range of layout algorithms for presentation of diagrams.
 
When we compare Graphviz  and Tulip diagram generations, it is very obvious to see that applying different algorithms with Tulip to the given Graphviz generated graphs, improves the readability of   the diagrams. We applied "Tree Leaf" algorithm, which we think is the best one to use when generating crossing-free and aesthetically pleasing diagrams. See examples in Figure 1-4 for  some complex representations.
