Animated transitions between graph revisions #26

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Canviz isn't just for showing static graphs. It's supposed to be used to build 
graph editors, where a 
graph evolves as someone edits it. Nodes and edges get created and deleted, and 
at each stage, 
Graphviz rerenders it, possibly drastically repositioning existing elements. If 
the new graph revision 
is simply drawn to the screen, replacing the old graph revision, it's easy to 
lose track of elements 
when such repositioning occurs. There should be a way for Canviz to animate 
between revisions, 
smoothly moving common nodes and edges, fading in new elements and fading out 
deleted ones.

Maybe we can find some ideas in www.flyinglogic.com

Or use a standard js library to move nodes around? (jquery style)
