-====Hierarchical schematic map drawing (BM)====
-Schematic maps of transportation networks in which train/metro lines are depicted as smooth curves can be very effective, as studies by the psychologist Maxwell Roberts have shown. [[#Force-directed methods for drawing metro maps with curves (M)|Previously]] we experimented with a force-directed algorithm to produce such maps automatically; however, the results seem to lack the clear structure that can be seen in professional human-drawn maps.
-To bring more structure into the map, we may experiment with the following approach: first identify which metro lines, or which sections thereof, are most important; then adapt the force-directed method such that these lines are drawn straighter or smoother, while allowing less important lines to become more twisted.
