Piccolo2D on web?

[Ajaz Hussain]

Dear All,

I have developed an application related to GraphEditor example using Piccolo2D.JAVA, which is capable to visualize graphs, and apply force-directed algorithm for layout of the graph. It's a desktop application.

I want to implement it on Web, like I found an example on D3.js (http://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/4062045).

I don't want to switch on D3.js. What can I do with Piccolo2D? How can I port my existing desktop app into web similar to above D3 example? By using Applets or what?

Looking forward for your kind reply!

Thanks and Regards,

Hello Ajaz,

You have several options.

If you don't want to change the code much, you can distribute it as an
applet or as a JNLP application.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_applet
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Web_Start

You might also use Piccolo2D via Processing

http://processing.org
https://github.com/heuermh/piccolo2d-processing

and use its export to applet functionality.

If you don't mind porting to javascript, you may wish to take a look
at Piccolo2D.js

https://github.com/allain/piccolo2d.js

Finally, if you would like to take advantage of existing directed
graph & layout functionality in javascript, I would recommend
Cytoscape.js

Hi Michael,
