Visualisation

Last updated Oct 3, 2023

Visualisation of graphs is a separate research area. There are a lot of software (applications, libraries) in this area. It would be hard to cover everything, but some examples are:

Standalone applications:

• graphviz (also available as JS/WASM library)
• gephi
• graphia
  • Graphia: A platform for the graph-based visualisation and analysis of high dimensional data
• Visualising algorithms at isohale
• tulip
• tmap

JS libraries:

• Cytoscape.js (also available as desktop applications)
• awesome-web-visualization-frameworks

JS libraries using WebGL:

• graphinius
• stardustjs
• sigma.js
• react-force-graph

Python

• graph-tool
• multinetx
• Py3plex

Science papers:

• Open Graph Drawing Framework
• Graph Visualization
