GMine

GMine is an environment for graph visualization. It implements simple graph visualization and partitioned graph hierarchies visualizatoin. Its interface provides an integrated system for graph navigatation and processing.

GMine tool has a set of edition functionalities both for the entire graph and for nodes alone. Different layout possibilities are possible in the environment, as well as the edition of sole nodes. The main purpose of the tool is to test and implement research theories in graph analysis through graph drawing techniques, mining algorithms and interaction.

We test and deploy different techniques in order to emphasize interesting properties of a graph. To do so we interactively use color, shape and postion hints to stimulate the user visual comprehension.

We have also implemented innovative large graph visualization. To do so, we have used graphs hierarchical partitionings and interaction tasks to investigate sets of nodes that could not be seen in a single display. We focused on processing and visual scalabilities by using partitioned computation and presentation. Check our videos at the download page.

The project has been sponsored by Brazilian research agency CAPES (Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior) and has been developed at Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, USA in a joint effort with Brazilian São Paulo University - ICMC-USP.

This tool can be used for free for academical purposes. We encourage its use appreciating any feedback about its workability.
