Drawing Line Diagrams through Sublattice Anchoring

Structural patterns such as n-dimensional cubes, diamonds (M3​), or pentagons (N5​) frequently occur in lattices of real-world data. Identifying and highlighting these well-known sublattices simplifies the interpretation of complex relational data by anchoring the visualization to familiar geometric forms. This project aims to develop a drawing algorithm that detects a predefined sublattice, pins its nodes to fixed positions, and subsequently arranges the remaining structure around this scaffold to investigate how different anchor choices improve lattice readability.
