Java graph library for dynamic visualisation [closed]

Answer 1

Have you had a look at Processing, or Processing.js? There are some amazing vis projects being made with this.

Not strictly Java, but easy to integrate within a Java environment, if I recall correctly.

Answer 2

Take a look:

• GEF - GUI components for graphical editing, including graphs, (Eclipse) SWT based
• JGraphX - former JGraph, not actively developed since March 2020
• Piccolo2D - (Eclipse) SWT based
• JUNG - last released in 2010 (as of 2020); was very popular back then
• yWorks - not open source, not free
• JGraphT - data handling and algorithms only, no integrated visualizaiton, though supports JGraphX visualization

Answer 3

Another option if feasible is to construct text file in graphviz dot format and process it using various tools provided. Mostly helpful for generate static images

See graphviz gallery for more details

Answer 4

Take a look at GraphStream, as shown from their demo video you can do some fancy stuff with graphs using their library.

Answer 5

Prefuse is pretty and powerful. The website is no longer there so here is an archived version

Answer 6

You may also want to have a look at wilmascope (or its project page). I used it a few years ago after full research and was quite happy with it, but it has not been updated since 2004 (as of 2020).
