A method of automatically laying out a graph having a plurality of nodes and edges, each indicating a relationship between the nodes, capable of laying out a plurality of kinds of edge in accordance with their respective different rules. It is arranged so that forces acting on each edge are defined to control the direction of the edge, a physical model is prepared corresponding to the graph into which the forces are incorporated, a stable state of the physical model is obtained, and the graph is drawn or displayed corresponding to the stable state of the physical model.
