Dear list, I'm trying to find a tool to draw networks and relationships between several agents. BUT, not only want I to represent/draw it, but to be able to browse it, move it..., USE it as a visualization tool. I'm thinking in something the like of MindRaider (http://mindraider.sourceforge.net/), but simpler and, if possible, exportable to flash, so it can be embedded in websites and/or uploaded to a web server so it can be accessed and updated remotely. For those not familiar with MindRaider, Google TouchGraph is a good approach, though I do not want it to set up website relationships. The optimum to me would be Freemind (http://freemind.sourceforge.net/) with some of MindRaider features (i.e. breaking the tree structure of Freemind). Any ideas? BTW, this is what I've already explored http://ictlogy.net/wiki/index.php?title=Data_Visualization so if you wanted to suggest one of those... well, you needn't ;)) Thanks a lot.

I suggest NetworkX (https://networkx.lanl.gov/wiki). Best, Nico Il giorno 20/feb/08, alle ore 10:47, Ismael Peña-López ha scritto:

InfoVis Cyberinfrastructure has a good list of visualisation software, toolkits and techniques: http://iv.slis.indiana.edu/sw Unfortunately many of the vis toolkits require custom programming to create the desired visualisations. If you're happy to do some development then Processing (http://www.processing.org) and GraphViz (http://www.graphviz.org) are worth considering. With Processing your visualisation can be easily embedded in a website (via a Java applet). I haven't used SoNIA (Social Network Image Animator) but it also may be an option: http://www.stanford.edu/group/sonia - Mike On 20 Feb 2008, at 09:47, Ismael Peña-López wrote:

IIRC Graphviz comes with a Tk-based tool that is ridiculously simple for creating small graphs. The Graphviz fileformat is also basically very simple: graph g { a -> b b -> c a -> c a -> d b -> d } (that sort of thing - easy stuff.) There's a Mac port of graphviz (at least, a gui app that renders graphviz' .dot file format) that was produced by pixelglow and won an apple design award some years ago. See also http://www.graphviz.org/Resources.php for more linky goodness. --elijah
I've put together a list with some network visualization tools: http://www.lars-kirchhoff.de/go/research/comments/network-visualization/ BINViz seems to fit quite nice with your requirements. you could use some kind of blog system to update the network data and let the JavaScript render the network. /lars -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org [mailto:air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org] Im Auftrag von Ismael Peña-López Gesendet: Mittwoch, 20.

Thank you, thanks for all the contributions. Though I guess I've still have to find what I was exactly looking for. Put short, I want to "play and publish" network visualizations, not "analyze" them. I'd rather teach or speak in public with such a tool than too deep thinking and discover hidden relationships. That's what I want it for :) BTW, for those (even slightly) interested in the issue, Lars list is pretty comprehensive http://www.lars-kirchhoff.de/go/research/comments/network-visualization/ Thanks again for those who dedicated some time to my question :) Ismael Peña-López ICTlogy.net Public Policies for Development and ICT4D School of Law and Political Science Open University of Catalonia
