Abstract
The positions of lines connecting nodes are selected such that the lines do not overlap nodes other than those which they are connecting. This is based on the position information of nodes within the network diagram, and connection information indicating which nodes are connected by the node-connecting lines. Node-connecting lines which are to be connected are generated in these selected positions, using straight lines or curved lines.
