visualizing relationships with Neo4j

[Philip Durbin]

This is pretty off-topic from Gedcom.pm but it's so interesting to me I
thought I'd share...

http://console.neo4j.org lets you visualize relationships and you can
even set up your own visualization (of people in your GEDCOM file, perhaps).

Here's the one I made:

http://console.neo4j.org/?id=if7gn8

And here's a bit of (incomplete) markup to make it:

start _0 = node(0) with _0
create
(_1 {name:"agoddard"}),
(_2 {name:"ben_e"}),
(_3 {name:"codex"}),
...
_0-[:ROOT]->_1,
_1-[:KNOWS]->_2,
_1-[:KNOWS]->_3

Be sure to drag the nodes around. It's much fun. :)
