Java Graphics Library for Dynamic Visualization

Question

I need a Java library for graphs that supports dynamic rendering. I need the objects to move between the vertices, and this needs to be shown. 3D is not required, a 2D representation will be sufficient.

I am currently using JUNG, but it is very limited, it is more for static graphs from what I can say.

I looked at this question, but JGraphT doesn't seem to do this either.

Can anyone suggest something?

Late editing:

I waited to complete the project before conferring an answer. I ended up saving JUNG, and also used UBIGraph as a secondary library.

Answer 1

Take a look:

• Jgraph
• Jung
• G
• yworks
• Bfg
• GEF
• gmgraphlib
• Scene graph
• Piccolo2d
• List of various libraries
• Jgraph

Answer 2

Take a look at GraphStream as shown in their demo video, you can do some interesting things with graphs using their library.

Answer 3

How about this graph visualization library? http://graphstream-project.org/

Answer 4

Prefuse is pretty and powerful.

Answer 5

Have you looked at Processing or Processing.js ? There are some amazing projects that are created with this.

Not strictly Java, but easy to integrate into the Java environment, if I remember correctly.

Answer 6

Another option, if possible, is to build a text file in graphviz dot format and process it using the various tools provided. It is mostly useful to create static images.

For more information see the graphviz gallery

Answer 7

You can also watch wilmascope . I used it several years ago after full research and was quite pleased with it, but it has not been updated since 10 years.
