The map it is created using the SDE to get the infos ( names, connections, etc..) .

The image is rendered a simple generated html SVG .

The layout used is... I HAVE NO IDEAD !!!

( maybe force connected using Reingold-Tilford ??? )

I have asked something similar here :

From the recent interview with Wollari: http://crossingzebras.com/interview-with-wollari-creator-of-dotlan/

"And yes, there’s no algorithm that placed and arranged the system positions. All maps were hand made. I first had created the map editor (with Javascript and SVG) before I created the final webpage."

Once upon a time there was EVE Regions which was pretty darn good for an offline use but the author finally stopped developing it because he was using dotlan himself :D Anyway, you may try sending him an EVEmail.
