Check out the parent project: BirdEye - an information visualization library here.
February 24, 2008, Visual Graph Explorer available here.
Version
Beta-02-24-2008
Requirements
Needs Flex 3 SDK to build from source.
Overview
The Flex Visual Graph Library is a community project to advance the design and development of an open source data visualization library and component suite for Adobe Flex. The actionscript-based library enables users to create complex data visualization interfaces for the analysis of relational data sets such as social networks, organization trees, navigation systems, taxonomies, db schemas, and other link-based phenomena. The library is purposely extendable and provides for separation of base, interface, and layout code. Additional layout algorithms can be readily integrated as an extended class containing only the mathematical calculations and controls needed specifically for the layout.
Features
- Fully customizable using inherent Flex Framework and component suite;
- Comparatively easy to use with basic mxml and actionscript scripting;
- Self-contained – all mathematical processing is performed within the library;
- Control – degrees of separation, data filtering, item rendering, drag and drop, look and feel, visibility, events, dataproviders, etc.
Cons
- The performance of the library is contingent on the host computer processing capacity which may limit the efficiency of graphing high volume data sets.
