I have been trying to find a way to display on the web in a reasonable fashion a graph of ro blog’s connections. After trying various configurations with graphviz, tulip and other graph visualization software it was clear to me that there is no way to display a highly connected ~ 700 nodes graph in reasonable size image.

Then I remembered some old code I have written 3-4 years ago using the touchgraph library. I have founded with surprise that no more opensource code has been released since so I dusted the CVS and found the old applet code which I quickly modified to read a very simple “dot-like” format:
#comment<br></br>node_a -> node_b<br></br>node_c -> node_b<br></br>
The results looks like this:
You can find the final visualization applet here after checking the TG license or you can contact me for more details.
