How to visualize a neo4j graph

Question

I want to visualize a neo4j embedded graph within my JAVA application. I have read the Max De Marzi's Graph Visualization Blog but I could not find anything in JAVA but only ruby and C++

May you help me to find a guide to install something easy to visualize my graph? I need just to see nodes and relationships.

PS I do not want to use external programs. As a result I do not like: linkurio neoclipse webadmin gephi etc.

Answer 1

There are various options to visualize graph data from Neo4j :

• D3.js , Sigma.js , Keylines : javascript libraries for graph visualization
• Gephi : open-source solution for graph visualization. It has a plugin to easily import Neo4j databases
• Linkurious : a solution to search, explore and visualize graph data from Neo4j
• Neoclipse : a tool to view, edit and explore Neo4j databases
• Neovigator : a tool to visually explore graphs
• Neo4j's webadmin : already installed with Neo4j

Here is a table that sum this up and explain the differences : http://linkurio.us/comparative-study/

I also suggest reading Max de Marzi's blog, he is an expert on visualization and Neo4j : http://maxdemarzi.com/

Good luck exploring your data!
