Graph Visualization

Wikipedia: * Force-directed graph drawing

• GraphViz "Graphviz is a package of open-source tools initiated by AT&T Labs Research for drawing graphs specified in DOT language scripts. It also provides libraries for software applications to use the tools. Graphviz is free software licensed under the Eclipse Public License."

• Gephi "Gephi is an interactive visualization and exploration platform for all kinds of networks and complex systems, dynamic and hierarchical graphs.

Runs on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. Gephi is open-source and free."

• Tulip "Written in C++ the framework enables the development of algorithms, visual encodings, interaction techniques, data models, and domain-specific visualizations. One of the goal of Tulip is to facilitates the reuse of components and allows the developers to focus on programming their application. This development pipeline makes the framework efficient for research prototyping as well as the development of end-user applications."

Graph Libraries

• Boost C++ Graph Library

• JUNG Java Universal Network/Graph Framework

• Gremlin(https://github.com/tinkerpop/gremlin) graph traversal language from * [TinkerPop]- Gremlin, Pixy, Blueprints, etc.

• Racket Generic Graph Library

Charles E. Leiserson, Clifford Stein, Thomas H. Cormen, and Ronald Rivest, Introduction to Algorithms, 2nd ed.. 2001.

• GraphXML file format "a comprehensive and easy-to-use file format for graphs. It consists of a language core to describe the structural properties of a graph and a flexible extension mechanism to add application-specific data...based on XML"

• GML file format "GML supports attaching arbitrary information to graphs, nodes and edges, and is therefore able to emulate almost every other format."
