To SIGGRAPH or not to SIGGRAPH

Tomorrow is the deadline for SIGGRAPH 2010, and unfortunately they require an image to be submitted along with the application. This may prevent us from submitting to the conference. I'm going to attempt to contact someone at SIGGRAPH shortly regarding tentatively submitting without an image. Hope that works out!

Anyway, Dondi and I have decided that I should attempt to implement the following 3 features:

• Vertex occlusion detection/correction
• Edge crossing accentuation
• 2D projection production (optional, for the time being)
  

Given such, I've coined the following 50-words-or-less pitch for TopPlot (for SIGGRAPH):

We developed a visualization system for realizing and manipulating spatial embeddings of topological graphs. The visualization system provides features such as vertex occlusion correction, edge-crossing accentuation, and 2D projection formation to aid mathematicians in topological graph analysis.

Concerning development, by this time weekend I intend having TopPlot's JOGL skeleton up and running.

Thanks!
