Hi Alexandre,
In a wonderful world, I would like:
- a real graph layout (like in graphviz) that can take into account around
hundred nodes and several hundred of edges and place the nodes in order to
see something. Currently, I have to use the circle layout and it looks
strange.
Unfortunately making real graph layouts is really hard issue… I've wrote my
bachelor thesis about this and didn't get very far; it's bit of a nightmare
if you don't have good foundations. :'(
In any case, I wrote a simpler layout delegator in Roassal that delegates
the layouting to graphviz and it works reasonably well, so I could probably
add it to Roassal (you however need graphviz installed and it would add
another dependency to Roassal, which I'm not so keen on).
Maybe also OGDF (http://ogdf.net/doku.php) could be used if you are ok with
GPL… they have their own graph format so there could be some interaction.
