Revision as of 00:28, 23 April 2006
Although not strictly for forensic purposes, visualization tools such as the ones discussed here can be very useful for visualizing large data sets. As forensic practitioners need to process more and more data, it is likely that some of the techniques implemented by these tools will need to be adopted.

Neato is a similar system but does layout based on a spring model. Can produce output as PostScript, PNG, GIF, or as an annotated graph file with the locations of all of the objects — ideal for drawing in a GUI. Runs from the command line on Unix, Windows and Mac, although there is also a MacOS GUI version.
- Guess: The Graph Exploration System - Originally developed at HP, this is a large Jython/Java-based system that you can use for building your own applications. Distributed under GPL.

- A bioinformatics system from University of Texas. They really mean Large.
- Java Universal Network/Graph Framework (JUNG)
- Graphing, data mining, social network analysis, and other stuff.
- NetVis 2D
- Another graph visualization and layout tool written in Java.
- Social Network Image Automater (SoNIA)
- Originally developed at Stanford. Written in Java.
- WilmaScope
- Real-time animations of dynamic graph structures. Written in Java. Sophisticated force model with strings and attraction.
- Walrus
- A 3-d graph network exploration tool. Employs 3D hyperbolic displays and layout based on a user-supplied spanning tree.

- Supports 15 layout algorithms, recursive graph nesting, and easy printing. Runs on Windows, Linux, Solaris, NetBSD, and MacOS. 30-day trial and free registered versions available. Academic pricing available.
- Geomantics
- Geographical, Visualization and Graphics software. Runs on Windows.
- Graphis 2D and 3D graphing software
- Runs on Windows. Free 30-day evaluation copy available.
- Tom Sawyer Software Analysis, Visualizaiton, and Layout programs.
- Heavy support for drawing graphs. Beautiful gallery. ActiveX, Java, C++ and .NET editions.
