Gravisto, the Graph Visualization Toolkit, is more than a (Java-based)editor for graphs. It includes data structures, graph algorithms, severallayout algorithms, and a graph viewer component. As a general toolkitfor the visualization and automatic layout of graphs it is extensible withplug-ins and is suited for the integration in other Java-based applications.

QUOGGLES: Queries on Graphs

Given the graph of Munich's subwaysystem, the query finds out, wherethe two lines U1 and U2 meet.

Plug-Ins

Gravisto provides a powerful plug-in mechanism with a comfortable plug-inmanager. Most non-core functionality is realized as plug-in, includingalgorithms, node and edge attributes, graphical user interface components,input and output serializers, attribute inspectors, node and edge shapes,tools, or entire views.
