Features:

• Graph-Layout using an interactive spring-embedder algorithm

• Visualization and calculation can be performed in the following spaces

  • Euclidean 3D-Space

  • Hyperbolic 2D-Space ( Projection onto Poincare-Disc)

    • Centre of the disc can be chosen interactively with smooth transitional animation

  • Spherical 2D-space

• many interaction possibilities

  • flexible view adjustment

    • rotation/zoom/panning of graphs

  • all important parameters of the spring-embedder algorithm can be adjusted

  • nodes of the graph can be moved manually, even while spring-embedder algorithm is activated

• OpenGL accelerated user-interface utilizing Crazy Eddies GUI System

• import function for node and edge-data from XGMML graph files

• implemented in C++ using OpenGL
