Malleable grid

[NotAllThere]

I've got some data consisting of a list of source nodes and destination nodes and number. I want to produce a map showing the connections between the nodes, with the connectors being of varying width according to the number.

In the gui, I'd like to be able to reshape the original map to make it look pretty.

Any pointers? I've written the model in Java - just not quite sure what do gui-wise.

Are the source nodes also destination nodes and vice versa or are the two sets distinct?

I'd have a google for "directed weighted graph visualisation" and see what comes up i.e.

Gallery | Graphviz - Graph Visualization Software

https://github.com/networkx/networkx

Seem to be the first two I get.

Something like Mathematica / Maple could probably do it as well. Making it easy to reshape on the fly might be tricky though.

There is lots of Algorithm on Graph visualisation a quick google shows plenty of good stuff. Most of it freely on online.

I found this interesting reading. http://cs.brown.edu/~rt/gdhandbook/chapters/force-directed.pdf

you might be able to have a play with this OGDF - Open Graph Drawing Framework: start

Good luck. I had to place a graph into the column once. Made my head spin!

Is GraphViz the one used in doxygen?

They're the same set.

Thanks for the tips - I'll look into them. This is just a toy visualisation project.
