Question
I've been looking around for a Java implementation of the force-directed graph layout algorithm but got no fruits so far. Any help will be appreciated :)
Solution
Jung:
http://jung.sourceforge.net/index.html
.. has been around for a while, and has many layout algorithms.
You might also check out Gephi at http://gephi.org/ - it's an application, not a lib, but it's open source Java.
There's also Processing (a Java superlanguage) and the physics lib here: http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~traer/physics/random_arboretum/index.html (click in the box a bunch of times to create the graph).
OTHER TIPS
My searching brought up four closely-related results; I don't know what you need it for, but hopefully at least one of them will be helpful:
- Force-based graph project in Java at Google Code
- Force-directed map labeling
- Force-directed map overlays
- The link I posted in the comment brought up VTK, whose website does claim some support for Java though I haven't researched it thoroughly.
