Maybe I wasn't clear enough. I'm not looking for a library or algorithm, which will help me to draw one or another graph (I know how to do it or can google anything I don't know). My research is in the area of visualization itself, what are the core ideas, why do we do it, how do we do it, how to do it better, is there a way to automate visualizations. If you take a look at any classification of visualization (cheatsheet section of the article) you will notice that those classifications are layman's theories. I wonder if this generally unsolvable problem or nobody tried before.
