ForceAtlas2 Rust

Implementation of ForceAtlas2, a Continuous Graph Layout Algorithm for Handy Network Visualization (in other words, position the nodes of a n-dimension graph for drawing it more human-readably).

There is a binding for use in Python, fa2rs.

Examples

Install Rustup and switch to nightly:

rustup toolchain install nightly && rustup default nightly

A packet may be needed to draw graph:

sudo apt install libfreetype6-dev

Clone repository:

git clone https://framagit.org/ZettaScript/forceatlas2-rs && cd forceatlas2-rs

Build example: (examples/wot.csv file lists the edges of a directed graph, in two columns)

cargo build --release --example csv_import
./target/release/examples/csv_import examples/wot.csv

Output images are in target directory.
