Re: [Neo4j] Exception when adding a Comment property to a node

Seems like your index key contains characters illegal on your current file system... would it be possible to see the code? or could you supply which index keys you use to index your comments? 2010/10/12 Tobias Ivarsson tobias.ivars...@neotechnology.com Hi Paul, Comment is not a reserved word,

That would be super cool. 3D could be beautiful, and possibly allow more interesting visualizations of a graph. In addition to an overview of the scene, it would be fun to play with 1st person and 3rd person views of the current node. What would be an easy proof-of-concept? /Andreas On Oct

Great. Seems that this in general has something to do with: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force-based_algorithms_(graph_drawing) Check out these examples: http://code.google.com/p/webglsamples/ working with dev version of Chrome. Flying through a 3D graph would be really fancy :) Am 2010 10 12

Hi. It's not a web app, but we built a prototype of 3D graph visualizer before: http://d.hatena.ne.jp/keiono/20081122/1227423548 However, the problem is it is very difficult to create an intuitive and easy to use user interface to browse a 3D space. Also, it is a bit vague what the significant

Hi. Except small and sparse graph, 3D force-directed/spring model automatic layouts creates big hairball and it is very hard to browse. I've tried igraph and it creates nice 3D visualizations, but in many cases, our users (mostly scientists) say, it's cool...but what's the point? Does it give us

Mathieu, I saw your screenshots - awesome. Do you have any experience with HTML5/WebGL? The advantage would be that the model could be completely created and rendered in a Browser (simply using the REST interface). This is, of course, heavy JavaScript programming :) Christopher On Tuesday,

The first thing that comes to mind as a possibly useful 3D graph visualization is to lay the graph on a (non-planar) surface, rather than just in free space. Ie, over some sort of topography. The topography could represent a geographical landscape of mountains, hills, canyons, and valleys...

Like Kei, I'm very suspect of the value 3D brings if the relationships themselves are more or less 2D or dimensionless, and the number of data elements (and relationships) is relatively large. For that matter, even 2D representations of the total graph space are not all that communicative. What

Hi Christopher. My point is, 3D graph visualization is worth trying (because it's cool :-) ), but still an open question even for researchers in data visualization field. Although this is a hard problem, but I've already got some use cases. In general, graph database users wants visualization

All, Sorry for the false alarm. It turns out that the actual field name that I was using was Comment\n (literal newline at end of string), not Comment. We do not have a requirement to index properties with newlines in their name, so you can ignore this post. Thanks for looking it to it.

Not necessarily a false alarm...since you *should* be able to index such a creature. Full text should certainly be able to contain whitespace characters, and the lucene reader/filter or your own reader/filter should strip them out. I was under the impression that the default reader/filter was
