Abstract
Human experiments in GraphDrawing, such as the seminal papers of Purchase et al. [1],
have concentrated on tasks, such as path-tracing. Here we report the first results in an
ongoing series of experiments to investigate the geometric properties of graph drawings
that users prefer. The specific experiment described in this poster investigates the impact
of edge crossings and stress in straight-line drawings on human preference. Our results
suggest a positive preference for drawings with less stress and fewer crossings.
