JavaScript Graph Visualization Tools

Tue, Oct 15, 2013

A collection of JavaScript graph visualization tools that look promising to me.

D3.JS

Link: http://d3js.org/

Well known and probably the best one. Today I read aboute Hive Plots for the first time (see this amazingly good looking and well written article: http://www.hiveplot.net/) and guess what: D3.JS already has support for Hive Graphs. And of course tons of other examples and graph types.

Sigma.js

Link: http://sigmajs.org

And a plug-in for custom node shapes and images: https://github.com/jacomyal/sigma.js/pull/106

Canviz

VivaGraphJS

It has some really fast examples, good performance.
