Welcome to the ipe.embedviz wiki.

In this wiki you will find a short-and-sweet guide to using the Embedding Visualizer Ipelet. This Ipelet is meant to be used to draw linear arrangement of graphs, where vertices of a graph are drawn on a horizontal line and edges are drawn as arcs above this line.

First, you should familiarise yourself with the main concepts relating to graphs that Ipe uses and what information is needed for the Ipelet to draw them. For this, read the preliminaries. Once you've gone through the preliminaries, or if you are already familiar with the concepts, go on to read the drawing linear arrangements with head vectors section. After this, and specially if you need t draw linear arrangements of graphs that are more complex than those representable using head vecors, read how to draw linear arrangements with edge lists.

Finally, and only optionally, you can read about how to decorate a linear arrangement of a graph, and even, how to calculate metrics of linear arrangements.
