Nascif Abousalh-Neto updated IVY-896:
-------------------------------------

A screenshot of processing an Ivy dependency graph in GUESS - the nodes between
two nodes was isolated and then the shortest path was highlighted.
> Add GDF as a report output format

> We have been dealing with some very large graphs here (thousands of nodes,
> tens of thousands of edges) and the information density is so high that the
> graph visualization tools supported by Ivy, GraphViz and yED, were not up to
> the task.
> Then we found out about GUESS (http://graphexploration.cond.org/), which
> takes a novel approach which combines visualization support (using JUNG, an
> excellent library in itself) with a DSL for graph manipulation based on
> Jython. This way a user can issue commands and run scripts that manipulate
> the graph contents with immediate visual feedback. We have been using it and
> has proven to be a great match for our use cases.
> GUESS claims to suport graphml but it was not able to parse the graphml
> report generated by Ivy. So I coded an XSL that creates GDF from the Ivy
> resolution report XML. Besides working :-) this method keeps the relevant
> (but non-visual) attributes from the original report in the GDF as well.
> These can be later used in GUESS to group nodes, create convex hulls,
> calculate metrics, and so on.
