In Proceedings of the 10th Annual Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology (UIST), 1997.http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:2258867The glide system is an interactive constraint-based editor for drawing small- and medium-sized graphs (50 nodes or fewer) that organizes the interaction in a more collaborative manner than in previous systems. Its distinguishing features are a vocabulary of specialized constraints for graph drawing, and a simple constraintsatisfaction mechanism that allows the user to manipulate the drawing while the constraints are active. These features result in a graph-drawing editor that is superior in many ways to those based on more general and powerful constraint-satisfaction methods.en-US10.1145/263407.263521
