Write an optimization algorithm

[sebkur]

As mentioned in the Java-Readme, there's no real optimization algorithm implemented yet. Would be cool, if someone came along and implemented one!

@sebkur, @OpenMetroMaps, are there some implementations of Nollenburg's algorigthm?

[sebkur]

Which one do you mean? Any of these?

Wow, didn't hope a reply 😄 Yes, those.

@sebkur , and I don't understand: is this map generated/optimized automatically? Or it was created via editor?

They have implemented something for creating the graphics in their papers, however we haven't implemented the algorithms ourselves or convinced the authors to release as open source. I received a copy of the 2013 paper's code (Drawing Metro Maps using Bézier Curves), but I cannot currently publish it as open source at the moment.

It has been imported from OpenStreetMap data and then tuned by hand with the editor.

Thanks!
