This book constitutes the strictly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 5th International Symposium on Graph Drawing, GD'97, held in Rome, Italy, in September 1997. The 33 revised full papers and 10 systems demonstrations presented were selected from 80 submissions. The topics covered include planarity, crossing theory, three dimensional representations, orthogonal representations, clustering and labeling problems, packing problems, general methodologies, and systems and applications.
