GraphStream
The GraphStream project is a java library that provides an API to model, analyze and visualize graphs and dynamic graphs.
Check out the Website http://www.graphstream-project.org/ for more information.
Installing GraphStream
The release comes with a pre-packaged jar file named gs-core.jar that contains the GraphStream classes. To start using GraphStream, simply put it in your class path. You can download GraphStream on the github releases pages, or on the website http://www.graphstream-project.org/.
Maven users may include major releases of gs-core
as a dependency:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.graphstream</groupId>
<artifactId>gs-core</artifactId>
<version>2.0</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
Development Versions
Using https://jitpack.io one can also use any development version. Simply add the jitpack
repository to the pom.xml
of the project:
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>jitpack.io</id>
<url>https://jitpack.io</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
then, add the gs-core
to your dependencies:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.github.graphstream</groupId>
<artifactId>gs-core</artifactId>
<version>dev-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
You can use any version of gs-core
you need. Simply specify the desired version in the <version>
tag. The version can be a git tag name (e.g. 2.0
), a commit number, or a branch name followed by -SNAPSHOT
(e.g. dev-SNAPSHOT
). More details on the possible versions on jitpack.
User interface
gs-core
does not ship any default user interface anymore. In order to display graphs, one need a GraphStream viewer (mainly gs-ui-javafx or gs-ui-swing). These are the steps to get a viewer:
- Download a GraphStream viewer and add the jar to your classpath (or as a dependency to
pom.xml
, for maven users). - Set a system property to tell
gs-core
which viewer to use :
System.setProperty("org.graphstream.ui", "javafx");
- Enjoy
Graph.display()
as usual.
