    There is a video that demonstrates graph splatting in Tulip, but I can't
    find the option in the current version (5.4.0 Ubuntu). Here is the video:

    I searched the documentation for graph splatting, but I couldn't find it
    either.

    If Tulip supports graph splatting, please let me know how I can access it.

    Thanks.

    Graph splatting is implemented through a non standard Node-Link Diagram interactor whose code has not yet been ported on Tulip 5.4 version.
    We will do our best to make it available in the next version of Tulip.

    Thanks for the quick reply.

    Is you implementatioin from this paper or you are using a different algorithm?

    Hi tidana,
    I happen to know what's in the paper by van Liere and van de Leeuw (I was their office mate when working at CWI in Amsterdam :-). I believe the graph splatting technique implemented in Tulip is far more general, although the basic principle is the same: go from a discretization of a surface to a surface using gaussian kernels. More generally, colleagues in our team have explored quite a number of rendering approaches more or less inspired from splatting. Hope this helps.

    Melançon, that is so cool.

    I have a research project that is related to the graph splatting tenchnique. I was hoping to find an implementation so that I can avoid reimplementing and save some time. I didn't even bother to email the authors about their implementation, because it has been almost 20 years since they published it.
