Now we are choosing the graph layout libraries for Denigma project.
There are a lot of alternative options. This entry is created to evaluate them all and choose appropriate for out purposes.
What we want is a graph visualization for Demo that we can show to others to attract them to Denigma.
What we need is to make in two weeks a prototype that: 1) Will get data from Denigma that is organizaed as graphs (we have to decide from what data to start) 2) Shows only a part of the graph (so called fish eye) 3) Let users edit the data 4) Let users select the relationship types (like it is in http://www.visualdataweb.org/gfacet/gfacet.php )
Possible solution may be choosing directed-layout javascript lib and add some extra features on top of it.
Here I propose to make a list of libs:
Anton: I have not tried it except for HelloWorld example and I judge more from its demos and descriptions. What I like is that it is highly customizable and fast. We can easily add text editors inside nodes to let users edit the data and send this info via databinding (coffescript lib batman.js may be the best option for databinding purposes) to the server.
