[jgrapht-users] Auto-Layout and JGraphAddons

[Xinuo C. <xin...@gm...>]

HI all.

I am new to JGraphT and JGraph.

I am wondering the way to automatically place all vertexes onto the graph
without manually give them positions. like if I have two thousand nodes to
place onto the graph, it is not possible for me to manually place them.

I searched the forum and found that this problem is related to layout thing
and layout needs JGraphAddons. But I can't find it in jgraph.com. 

Anyone could help me out of this? some hints on how to place vertexes onto
graph? how to find JGraphAddons?

By the way, I am using JGraph to draw many network nodes and show their
connections on the graph.

Thank you.

The JGraph folks seem to have pushed layout over into their commercial 
side.  For old open-source versions of jgraphaddons, you should be able 
to get it from their sf.net download site if you dig.

I have an old copy available here:

Recently, someone named Carl Anderson contacted me saying he could 
contribute code to integrate JGraphT with Touchgraph (see 
www.touchgraph.com).  I've asked him for the files; I'll check them in 
once he sends them to me.

Carl sent me the files, so I have committed them to Subversion.

For now, I put his converter into the experimental area.  (It's not a 
full adapter like we have for JGraph.)  To run the touchgraph demo, run 
"ant exp.touchgraph".  I don't know what I'm doing with GUI stuff so the 
way it comes out you have to resize the window to see anything, and it 
would disappear immediately if it weren't for the 
Thread.currentThread.sleep call I put in.  Help!
