In this work, we report on our experiences with applying genetic algorithms to the graph-drawing problem. The automatic generation of drawings of graphs has important applications in key computer technologies. We are interested here in producing aesthetically pleasing two-dimensional pictures of undirected graphs drawn with straight edges. To do so we use a hybrid process, applying concepts inspired by the force-directed placement technique with several aesthetic criteria, which are to be minimized together. The optimization algorithm used is the genetic algorithm.
