With minimized edge crossings, those representations offer understandable 2D visualizations.
Planar :These algorithms are specialized in generating aesthetic planar layouts. The iterativity allows to gradually enhance the representation. The MMM and the fast multipole layout follow these steps. Multilevel :Multilevel layout is computed by including gradually the initial nodes into a layout, thus iteratively improving the node placement. Misc :This sub group contains miscellaneous algorithms, notably the packing and overlap removal algorithms. The Balloon and the Sugiyama algorithms are good examples of such layout. Hierarchical :Those representations, in accord to their name, are perfect for presenting hierarchical structures or graph showing precedence relationships. Known such algorithm are the FM^3, the GEM Frick and the Kamada Kawai. Force Directed :These layouts will try to place nodes so that the distance in the graph (specific metric on the edges) should be the closest to the distance on the drawing. Basic :The standard functions can be found in this sub group such as the Circular display or the Random layout. 
Tulip allows the visualization of information, and thus, provides several layout algorithms to display information and data in a neat fashion.
