Using the Neo4j Server Web Interface for visualization on a Public website

Question

I'm looking at visualization options for a graph database project that I have coming up. Part of the job is to provide an interactive visualization of the data for public website visitors.

The standard Neo4j Server Web Interface does all I would need it to and more. I was wandering if I could simply embed it in a webpage or provide a public url (that could be accessed without a login) that general users could use to view the visualization without being able to edit it or add nodes/relationships? If you know of any examples of how this can be done, I would be very grateful.

Thanks!

Answer 1

The Neo4j browser is an Angular.js application using d3.js as visualization. The code is all open source an on https://github.com/neo4j/neo4j/tree/2.2/community/browser/lib/visualization so you can check it out there.

In general http://maxdemarzi.com is a good source for visualization blog posts as is http://neo4j.org/develop/visualization

Answer 2

Check out Neo4j GraphGists. A GraphGist allows you to embed a Neo4j database, Cypher queries, and visualize the results in a web page. Lots of examples listed on the GraphGist wiki.

Also take a look at Mashed Datatoes, a bar chart, pie chart like visualization software for Neo4j.

It uses Movie database for demo. Try selecting "Person" as start label.
