Web based large scale graph drawing library [closed]

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9490003

Question

Is there any good javascript library for drawing graphs in a webpage? I want a modern HTML5 library that preferably uses canvas and/or webgl. I have found a couple of good web libraries while researching but they don't scale to the size of graphs I am operating on (upto 2000 vertices+20000 edges) that a desktop software like Gephi can easily handle or they are flash/silverlight-based. So, far, my best find is a d3.js based implementation. It would be also nice if they had some automatic spring/force-based layouting/clustering algorithm built-in too with Seadragon-style zooming.

Was it helpful?

Solution

I found exactly what I was looking for in Cytoscape

OTHER TIPS

It appears that D3.js (which you mentioned in you question) is the best JavaScript graphing library in existence. It's very quick, can handle force-based layouts, and allows zooming.

Another answer on Stack Overflow discusses D3.js zooming more thoroughly.

Take a look at EXT.js, It can render to canvas, svg and mobile with the same code base. There's a lot more to the product than the visualization engine. It's a complete client-side framework. Well worth looking at.

SigmaJS is good for graphs in web page via JS.
