Abstract: This paper presents a survey of algorithms for automatic drawings to meet the needs of molecular network modeling and information systems. On the basis of analyzing the history and present situation of three typical layout algorithms including metabolic pathway, force-directed and grid layout, the principles, internal relations, strengths and weaknesses and burning questions for these algorithms are mainly probed, which can provide references and clues for analyzing and solving specific biological problems by network visualization methods.

Key words: complex biological networks, graph drawing, force-directed layout, grid layout
