CCVisu is a light-weight Java tool for force-directed graph layout and visual clustering. The layout is minimized using the algorithm of Barnes and Hut, and several energy models are supported. The resulting layouts are provided in text format, as VRML or SVG, or displayed on the screen.

GDToolkit (also known as GDT) is a Graph Drawing Toolkit designed to efficiently manipulate several types of graph, and to automatically draw them according to many different aesthetic criteria and constraints.

Information source for researchers, practitioners, developers, and users working on all aspects of graph visualization and representation.

Graph analysis and data visualization software that helps build applications to visually present critical information from all types of relational data. Free demonstration available.

This program runs under Windows NT/9x and provides some analysis tools for large networks and graph-drawing capabilities.

aiSee automatically calculates a customizable layout of graphs specified in GDL (graph description language). aiSee supports 15 basic graph layout algorithms, recursive subgraph nesting, fish-eye views and easy printing. It has been optimized to handle large graphs automatically generated by applications (e.g. compilers).

System dedicated to the visualization of huge graphs. It manages graphs with a number of elements (nodes and edges) up to 500,000 on a personal computer. It features 3D visualization and modification. GPL.

PIGALE is a graph editor and an algorithm library essentially concerned with planar graphs. Written in C++ and interfaced with the Qt library, it is particularly intended for graph theoretical research. PIGALE is released under GPL.

An extensive Java class library that provides algorithms and components for analyzing, viewing and layouting graphs, diagrams and networks.

Open source graph (network) visualization project from AT&T Research. Has directed and undirected graph layout; many features for concrete diagrams, drivers for web and other graphics formats, and a plug-in architecture for GUIs and scripting languages.
