Hello igraph,
I am interested in how to draw a tree, as discussed below. Who can help?
Thanks,

A tree is a connected graph without cycles; it can be drawn in the plane
in many different ways. Somewhat remarkably, the drawings of all the
trees with up to ten nodes published by Harary and by Schlick are
remarkably similar; the former were drawn by Harary’s artist, the latter
by the program Python.igraph.
How does that come about? Harary wrote in 1969 so did not have access to
Python.igraph. What rules are used by Python.igraph and how does it come
about that the drawings it generates are identicalto those in Haray,
even down to the five cases where IMHO both systems make a mistake and
draw the tree wrongly.

Tamar Schlick runs the RNA research group at NYU. Her group maintains a
database of trees with up to ten nodes, all drawn by Python.igraph
