IBM ILOG JViews Graph Layout for Eclipse

Add world-class graph layout to your Eclipse-based applications

IBM ILOG JViews Graph Layout for Eclipse enhances existing Eclipse frameworks by adding high-performance, intelligent graph layout.

Ensure your users can understand the data in your network topology displays, workflows, organization charts, and other diagrams. Organize the data. Show the relationships. Reveal the patterns.

  • Provides complex diagram display services out-of-the-box, including the most common graph layout algorithms: hierarchical, tree, radial tree, uniform length edges, circular, and grid layouts. View example displays
  • Optimally places labels and routes links (edges) between nodes to reduce overlapping elements
  • Includes organization features, such as subgraphs, and editing features, including animation, undo and redo, and persistence
  • Designed to work seamlessly with existing Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF), Graphical Modeling Framework (GMF) and Graphical Editing Framework (GEF) applications, without requiring changes to the existing architectures
  • Architected to support large data sets and to be extended with the included software development kit
  • Integrated with the Eclipse IDE for better developer productivity
  • Can be used for Eclipse applications that are deployed using the Rich Client Platform (RCP) or to create new IDE plug-ins
  • Platforms supported: J2SE Version5.0 (or later)
