Does anyone know a good network/graph visualization software - just add data? [closed]

Answer 1

I would strongly recommend Gephi for this. You can import data (nodes and edges) directly from a database(MySQL, SQLServer, PostgreSQL, SQLite, TeraData) using simple SQL queries. Or you could import data from a CSV file.

It also has great set of algorithms to analyze your graph. Gephi is built in a modular fashion and is open source. They have also released a Gephi toolkit which is a library that can be used in any Java application, if you were to develop your on visualization software.

Also sigma.js which is a Javascript library is highly recommended for visualizing graphs. Sigma.js is inspired from and can work along with Gephi toolkit.

A collection of data visualization tools can be found at http://selection.datavisualization.ch/

Answer 2

And what about Gephi, The Open Graph Viz Platform.

Answer 3

Actually, I've used NovaMind before & even though the way they go about discribing / labeling things is different, most of the concepts are the same.

Answer 4

To add to the growing list: the JavaScript InfoViz Toolkit provides extremely pretty graph and network visualisations in the browser. Zoomable etc. Link is here.

Answer 5

GraphViz fails miserably on large graphs. Try aiSee or have a look at this list.

Answer 6

For my part I use the free software called 'viSANT'. http://visant.bu.edu/ This software initially dedicated to biology, can be used to represent any network. The nodes and edges can have multiple forms and colors. Their name shown or not. The nodes can be grouped into complexes or groups on selected criteria. Moreover, these complexes or groups can be folded, providing better visibility of the graph. These groups and these complexes can in turn be encapsulated and Metagroup métacomplexes and thus more. Of course, all these operations are reversible. There are many other features that you will find using this software. And finally, its use is very simple and intuitive.

Pour ma part j'utilise le logiciel gratuit nommé 'visant'. Ce logiciel d'abord dédié à la biologie, peut être utilisé pour représenter n'importe quel réseau. Les noeuds et les arêtes peuvent avoir de multiples formes et couleurs. Leur nom représentés ou pas. Les noeuds peuvent être regroupés en complexes ou groupes sur des critères choisis. De plus, ces complexes ou groupes peuvent être contractés, procurant une meilleur visibilité du graphe. Ces groupes et ces complexes peuvent à leur tour être encapsulés en métagroupes et métacomplexes et ainsi des suite.Bien entendu, toutes ces opérations sont réversibles. Il y a de nombreuses autres fonctionalités que vous découvrirez en utilisant ce logiciel. Et enfin, le meilleur, son utilisation est très simple et très intuitive.
