Hello Mark, It is very impressive graphs which can be customized easily. I have few questions. 1. Can We have multiple links between two nodes with different colors ? ( Instead of having one straight line, there will be a curbe ).
2. Way of making it directed graph
3. Any examples/insights to develop the editing of those network graphs?

I’ve got another question : Is there any way to link items to each other several times ?

Is there a way to draw a link like an arrow ?

Hi Mark,
The limits are endless with this SpringGraph component. I made a Music Roamer using xml feeds from Last.FM

Thanks and keep up the great work!

Wonderful component. Thanks.

Couple of questions though - firstly, when I use it, the inital graph comes in from the top-left of the screen and moves into the centre as it gets auto-laid-out. Is there any way I can force it to begin centred and lay out from there ?

Also, if I have the background color of the ‘nodes’ associated with a function which calculates the required color based on some node attribute, how can I force the graph to refresh the colours when I know I’ve altered them in the XML ? I tried romer.refresh() but that doesn’t work for me - any ideas ?

Thanks,

Jamie.

Mark,

Great component. Like the way that it works and opens a number of interesting opportunities for visualizations that are difficult or impossible elsewhere.

One question, maybe this is more a questions with flex than your component. I run your demo, ad 50+ nodes, do no further linking and it takes up between 25% and 50% of my CPU. Am I doing something wrong or is this just the redraw and floating effect. We have this issue with another image component that we cycle an effect on. Are there ways to optimize these to reduce processor overhead?

Is it possible or are there plans in the works to allow the user to specify the layout algorithm. We are looking for a Hierarchical Algorithm

Beautiful stuff man. I’m sure I will find some uses for it in the near future.
