Title: GraphViz type graphing
Post by: Ronnie Chowdhury on January 20, 2010, 03:38:11 am

Hi all,

I'm fairly new to EA and I'd like to do some sort of visual analysis on data. What 'toolkit' would be the best way of connecting a bunch of data together in the graphviz kind of way (but more advanced I hope!)

I recommend using EA's auto diagram layout features along with automation as a means of performing analysis of networks within EA.  I love graphviz but it is useful for output only.  I currently use automation via Python for network analysis - works well.

You can set a couple of visual properties of elements & links on diagrams (eg. colour, border width) via automation to help with visual analysis.

Thanks for that.

I'll have an explore of python and see what comes out. Yeah I like graphviz too but EA is way cooler to use.
