Abstract
This paper illustrates a modified simulated annealing algorithm for drawing graphs according to a number of aesthetic criteria. The proposed modified algorithm used in this paper combined the power of simulated annealing algorithm and mouse events available in java to enhance graph readability. Tests are carried out on two graphs of increasing difficulty, and the results show that this approach draws graph nicely and at the same time meets some of the aesthetic criteria stated in this work.
