Kamada & Kawai graph layout algorithm? [closed]

Question

Anyone out there ever attempted Kamada & Kawai's '88 Algorithm for drawing general undirected graphs?

If so, and you know of any resources on it (apart from the paper itself), links would be appreciated (extra points if anyone knows of any concise, step by step breakdowns).

Thanks!

Answer 1

If you search on Google Scholar for the name of Kamada and Kawai's paper "An Algorithm for Drawing General Undirected Graphs", the first hit includes a link, which is broken. But if you click on Versions, you can select other sources of the paper as PDF. Here is one for example from the Wellesley College

Here is my workflow for getting papers:

1. Search on Google Scholar for <paper title>
2. Check all versions
3. Check the university homepage of the author(s)
4. Search for "<paper title> pdf" on google search
5. Search the eBook section of my university library
