Graph Gear, an open platform for graph visualization (the mathematical kind, not the bar chart kind), is now available. It allows you to create an interactive graph with force directed layout that has a good interactive user experience. It’s a flash component that takes a graph specifying xml file passed over javascript. We’ve used graph gear in a number of projects over the last year or two and it’s about time to get it out there and open. Special thanks to Forrest, one of our brilliant high school helpers, for helping get this wrapped up.
Right now we’re going to go ahead and release this under the gpl (with a purchasable cc-by-nd license, similar to recycled canvas). The goal is to make this a recycled research project after we get some of the kinks worked out. Any improvements or additions (which are quite likely to arise) should be mailed back to code@creativesynthesis.net.
Looks great. I’ve been looking for something like this for a while.
I tried using unicode characters for the node text in the xml file without success. Is there a way to get that to work? Also, could you provide some information for what you use to compile the actionscript files into the swf’s?
