Résumé / Abstract
In the domains of geography, urban development and spatial planning, graph theory is used to tackle questions arising in the field of networks (whether they are transport and communication or even social networks). The general procedure is based on the translation of these problems into the mathematical language of graph theory so as to be able to treat them using, for example, the properties of connectivity or by exploring minimum paths. For this reason, in its applications to the social sciences, graph theory deals mainly with mathematical properties and much less with the graphic representation of nodes and arcs. By refocusing on the graphical dimension, from which it was born, here we wish to develop the aspect of graph theory that relates to representation (plotting of graphs) in its applications to problems of spatial analysis.
