OGDF, for either Open Graph Drawing Framework or Open Graph algorithms and Data Structures Framework, is a library and infrastructure for graph drawing and related algorithms and data structures.

The library is open source and written in C++.

OGDF went live in 2005, based on the formerly commercial OGDL (Oreas Graph Drawing Library), which is turn was heavily influenced by the LEDA-based AGD (Algorithms for Graph Drawing) library.

The library is described in:
