Abstract

The algorithm of Walker [5] is widely used for drawing trees of unbounded degree, and it is widely assumed to run in linear time, as the author claims in his article. But the presented algorithm clearly needs quadraticruntime. We explain the reasons for that and present a revised algorithm that creates the same layouts in linear time. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2002.
