Some examples of automatic layout in this style: - M. Nöllenburg: Automated Drawings of Metro Maps, 2005. We've used that a while ago to render a few pretty images with our graph visualization library, but runtime is prohibitive (along with the requirement of a fast ILP solver). - LOOM: https://github.com/ad-freiburg/loom https://github.com/ad-freiburg/loom and https://loom.cs.uni-freiburg.de/global https://loom.cs.uni-freiburg.de/global

Wow, cool. Thanks for sharing! I hope someone builds a web version of Mini Metro with this on top of OSM.

  Side note: Mini Metro is an incredible game, and the studio is still updating it with new content a decade after release! I highly recomend everyone here checking it out if they haven't already. (Not affiliated, just a fan)

  An example of Tokyo can be found here: https://loom.cs.uni-freiburg.de/global#subway-lightrail/octi/13/35.69585260116239/139.77939605712893 https://loom.cs.uni-freiburg.de/global#subway-lightrail/octi... Schematization took around 2 minutes according to the statistics, it really doesn't look that bad.

    Sorry if I wasn't clear. Mini Metro is a game that has the player connecting metro stations together by routing them however they see fit. It's a minimalist network/graph game that's both relaxing and challenging. It uses loose approximations/abstractions of real world cities.https://dinopoloclub.com/games/mini-metro/ https://dinopoloclub.com/games/mini-metro/ (highly recommended!) I'd love to see a web map version of it based on real geography.

>We've used that a while ago to render a few pretty images with our graph visualization library, but runtime is prohibitive I wonder if anyone's tried running it with the Tokyo transit system.

  At least the subways seem not that bad: https://www.yworks.com/assets/images/blog/tokyo.1e410d12c2.svg https://www.yworks.com/assets/images/blog/tokyo.1e410d12c2.s...

    >At least the subways seem not that bad: That's only a very small fraction of the transit system in the Tokyo metro area. There's over 800 stations, and over 100 train lines.
