Literatur und zusätzliche Materialien URL Lecture #1 [Reingold and Tilford 1981] Tidier Drawings of Trees
URL Lecture #1 [Supowit and Reingold 1983] The complexity of drawing trees nicely

This paper shows that one can use LP-based methods to minimize the width of a "balanced-layered" drawing of tree, but if one desires a grid drawing the problem becomes NP-hard.

URL Lecture #4 [Patrignani 2001] On the complexity of orthogonal compaction

Lecture #3: reference for the NP-hardness proof regarding optimally "compactifying" an orthogonal drawing of an embedded graph.
