visualization of graphml

[jan.ptacek]

Hi everybody,

've been just wondering, how do you produce all the nice
visualizations as seen on
http://wiki.github.com/tinkerpop/gremlin ?

say I have a graphml file I use to query with gremlin, I've tried to
visualize() from webling, but it screws me the utf8 encoding ;(

thanks for any tips
jan

Hey Jan,

I did all the visualizations on the site using iGraph [ http://igraph.sourceforge.net/ ] through R:Statistics. Simply export your graph to a graphml file:

g:save('my-graph.xml')

then load it in R.

library(igraph)
read.graph(file='my-graph.xml',format='graphml')

see http://igraph.sourceforge.net/doc/R/read.graph.html

Then visualize it using plot.graph:

http://igraph.sourceforge.net/doc/R/plot.common.html

Hope that helps...

See ya,
Marko.

What parameters did you use to show the attributes? I can only get an ugly graph to display without attributes. Your graphs look totally different (clean). I'd appreciate it if you could show us your plot(g) parameters.

I've tried http://cytoscapeweb.cytoscape.org/demo for simpler graphs without attributes. Works so-so. yEd from http://www.yworks.com/en/index.html supports nested graphs but not attributes..sigh.
