%X The concept of multi-attribute topological graph is proposed in this article to represent the characteristics of both structure and state for typical one-degree-of-freedom planar spur closed planetary gear trains. This method is well applied in power flow analysis and provides a graphical view for the types, values, directions, and transmission relationship of power flow, especially for the recirculation power representation. Furthermore, a template model of multi-attribute topological graph for closed planetary gear trains is also presented, which would be helpful to the multi-attribute topological graph generation for some certain types of closed planetary gear trains just by changing symbols in the template model. A corresponding software is also developed to make the analysis process more convenient. By inputting different parameters, the different visual results can be obtained automatically, thus benefiting engineers in conceptual design
