- Euler diagrams have existed since the 1700s and encode the intersection between sets of elements. Most similar to Venn diagrams, they are used widely within the sciences and social sciences for this purpose. Many algorithms exist to draw Euler diagrams, but the outputs require refinement after drawing to improve drawing quality. This approach is the first to refine any Euler diagram visually represented with closed curves and set elements that does not create or destroy intersections between those curves. The approach applies curve shortening flow with constraints to achieve this objective and has increased scalability compared to the state-of-the-art.
