This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 14th International Symposium on Graph Drawing, GD 2006, held in Karlsruhe, Germany. The 33 revised full papers and 5 revised short papers presented together with 2 invited talks, 1 system demo, 2 poster papers address all current aspects in graph drawing, ranging from foundational and methodological issues to applications for various classes of graphs in a variety of fields.
