Visualise networks (graphs) using OpenGL.
Due to the nature of my master's thesis, I need to visualise communities in networks. I am dissatisfied by the usage of existing visualisation tools such as Gephi, iGraph etc and wanted to learn OpenGL for quite some time now. In consequence, I am developping this software to fit my visualisation needs. For now I'm looking to add features that helps me towards this specific purpose.
- TODO
- Make the coloring better. (Don't use random colors)
- Implement different spatialisation algorithms (force Atlas, spring)
- Implement a "stepping" behaviour. To visualise movements of vertices from one partition to the other
- Repulsion force is the bottleneck of the simulation (
$$\mathcal{O}(n^2)$$ ). Implements Barnes-Hut approximation for the repulsion force ($$\mathcal{O}(n\log(n))$$ ) - Check for a more appropriate line shader
- Find a better way to write callbacks inside the
Appclass
- DONE
- Read partition file and implement coloring per partition. Dynamically choose the partitioning to show with the keyboard.
- Adapt the zooming behaviour to zoom towards the cursor. (instead of the center of the scene)
- Implement a proper command line interface
