Paolo Simonetto

My current research interests are graph drawing and the generation of maps and diagrams.

During my stay at the UofA, I was part of the Gama Group (Graph and Maps Algorithms), supervised by Stephen Kobourov. I was also working on a ONR (Office of Naval Research) project for the development of a security visualisation software.

Ocotillo is a java-based graph drawing library. The library is meant to be self-contained, highly portable and easy to use. The library is distributed according to the Apache licence. It is, however, at a very early stage of development.

EulerSmooth is a technique to smooth the contours of existing Euler diagrams in order to make them more readable. This software demo is based on the ocotillo library and can be executed by unpacking the zipped folder and running the jar contained.
