[vtkusers] Graphs in VTK

[Scott Kelly]

Thanks for the information.  

I also looked into Titan, from reading it looks like Titan is developed within VTK.  So downloading and installing vtk should also include active Titan work.  Did I understand this correctly?  

Further, it seemed that vtk/Titan is closely integrated with ParaView.  Does this mean Titan functionality is integrated into ParaView.  It would be great if I could use ParaView to generate and view large graphs.  Are there any prebuilt plugins for ParaView that support Tulip or GraphViz graphs?

Thanks,
Scott

I'm using the built in vtkRandomGraphSource with a vtkForceDirectedLayoutStrategy.  I've seen some great graph examples on the web and I'm wondering how they were able to render the graphs and rotate them efficiently.  Any ideas on how to render large graphs efficiently in vtk?
