Pure Java reimplementation of GraphViz? [closed]

Answer 1

yFiles seems to provide all this, but it's not free and not really cheap either. But then again it seems to be a very professional product (haven't used it, except in yEd, which can be used for free).

Answer 2

You can have a look at JUNG (Java Universal Network/Graph Framework) which has visualization and analytics functions. It's open source.

Answer 3

You could look at JGraph though I have never used it so cannot comment on now it compares to GraphViz.

Answer 4

I guess ZGRViewer is what you want. I really like ZGRViewer and AJaPaD.

Answer 5

Interestingly, the Eclipse project has an SWT/JFace component/framework capable of displaying and generating (import/export) Graphviz's 'DOT' format, in pure Java:

ZEST (home page & download links)

See http://wiki.eclipse.org/Graphviz_DOT_as_a_DSL_for_Zest for usage examples.

Although ZEST is touted as an Eclipse plugin, it does seem that the DOT-manipulation API's can be used standalone and external to an Eclipse installation.

To clarify, the DOT functionality is a part of the ZEST 2 functionality, which itself is a sub-component of the GEF4 project.

Answer 6

I worked with yFiles about four years ago, and it was excellent. It's costly (though less than JGraph, apparently) but I work in a CS research lab and had access to their generous academic pricing.
