Abstract

An efficient algorithm and implementation for morphing planar graphs is discussed. The five steps in the algorithm are: introduction of bend vertices, introduction of convex bounding box, compatible triangulations, affine transformation morphs, and barycentric-representation morph. The algorithm is implemented in the JAVA programming language. The main objective is to find a morph that does not introduce crossings in the intermediate drawing througout the transformation.
