Tulip a framework that allows you to create, visualize, manipulate, and export large graphs. Tulip can import graphs from the popular Graphviz package and allows you to export a graph visualization in a number of bitmap image formats as well as SVG and EPS for eventual inclusion into a PDF file. Packages for Tulip are available for Ubuntu Hardy and for openSUSE as a 1-Click Install. There are no packages of Tulip in the standard Fedora repositories, but there are binary RPMs offered on the Tulip download page. In this article I'll install version 3.0.0 from source on a Fedora 8 64-bit machine.

just a few days ago i was trying to handle a graph large enough that my machine could not cope with it, it ate up all the 2GB of ram and quite same swap space and brought the machine to a crawl.

i have been searching for alternatives, and i guessed that opengl would help, but somehow i used the wrong keywords and found nothing useful.

then this posting comes along, and tulip saves the day. literally, thanks!

greetings, eMBee.
That happens a lot at Linux.com. They staff must be psychic or something. A while ago I was stuck finding a way to generate reports. Linux.com happens to post a bunch of articles about the OOo report generator and JODReports. A while later I was stuck finding a way to check some website for changes. Linux.com posts an article about Specto. I was looking for a way to listen to my music collection and Linux.com posts about mpd. Etcetera, etcetera. It's really creepy sometimes.
