Re: GraphViz and SKOS...

hi, 

please note again that the visualizations are not my feathers and i'm a prefuse starter my self.

please take a look at the gallery @ prefuse.org, the weight thing should easily be possible.

Hi Jürgen!

I like very much the "treemap" !
Does the surface could vary depending of a "weight'? in my projects, I 
collect "usage data"
(how many times a concept is used in a given index or application).
The surface of each concept could be linked to this weight ?
   (I do not see any in 
http://turnguard.com/opendirectory/prefuse/OpenDirectoryTreeML.xml )

May be you know the display of WinDirStat, a very handy program to 
manage your hard disk:
http://windirstat.info/
It is a lot similar (in its principle) to your treemap.

Good evening!

Christophe
