yEd is a powerful, free diagramming application that automatically arranges complex graphs and networks with professional layout algorithms.

Built by the diagramming experts at yWorks, yEd is a highly versatile, free-of-charge desktop and web application designed to turn complex data into clean, readable diagrams (available on Windows, macOS, Linux, and modern browsers as yEd Live). The tool stands out for its mathematical layout engine, allowing users to import structured data from Excel spreadsheets or XML files and instantly arrange hundreds of nodes using organic, hierarchical, or orthogonal algorithms. Whether you are mapping out BPMN workflows, UML class structures, or intricate IT networks, yEd eliminates the tedious manual alignment of boxes and lines, delivering presentation-ready visuals with a single click.

### [Building Graph Navigation Tool for the Visually Impaired](https://hong-kong.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_5Setv57KQwQ)

Access8Graph, a keyboard-input, speech-output system that allows screen reader users navigate complex graph data — starting with Taipei Metro System. The tool parses GraphML files (a common visual graph format), extracts semantic relationships that visual editors often ignore, and provides three distinct navigation modes matched to different user mental models — directional navigation, linear exploration, and route planning.
