[Openjgraph-development] Zooming

[Patrick H. <pa...@13...>]

I see that zooming is planned as a future addition to OpenJGraph.  Has
there been any progress on this front?  The software I am writing that
uses OpenJGraph really needs zooming since we are planning to visualize
graphs with thousands (even tens or hundreds of thousands) of vertices.
Right now, just displaying ~20 causes the scroll pane to get pretty
cramped.

If this topic is still open for discussion, has there been any
investigation into the Jazz library (http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/jazz/)?
They say they implement zooming capabilities as a basic feature and even
use the formal name Zoomable User Interfaces.  What is the feasibility of
using Jazz as a higher-level interface to making graphs?
