I am trying to manage a scene modeled by a graph. The problem is that the graph is cyclic (a node can have more than one parent). It is typical of some mechanism where you have more links connected to the same joint. It is not only a problem of visualization...

Are you trying to draw an actual picture of a graph? Or some scene that is modeled by a graph? Currently I'm working on a scene consisting of eight cubes connected to each other in a "ring". For the scene graph I'm using a chain structure: BG | TG | \ TG `cube | \ TG `cube \ `cube etc. Of course it doesn't connect the last cube back to the first, so I'll have to handle that part manually.

I'm a researcher from Milan (Italy). We are using java3d for scientific visualization... I've a question, and I hope this could be interesting for other members of the community... I know that java3d scenegraph is acyclic (no loops), but I need to represent a cyclic graph-structure. Is there any work-around to do that? Is it possible to "simulate" a cyclic graph using acyclic graph(s).
