Sounds interesting - anything about it online? >Which library did you end up using? JGraph. TouchGraph was the other leading contender, but I wanted full-blown heavyweight JComponents as graph items, where as TG is more aligned towards lightweight drawing. When I was trying to code this stuff myself, the glue between my graph model and the Swing components started getting really ugly - eventful spaghetti. JGraph only solves part of the problem, but it's the part that was keeping me awake ;-) Also using a load of other o-s libraries - Jena, Jython etc. A real boon for functionality, but don't half make for a big package <juvenile snigger/>. >Good suggestion but probably outside the scope of this particular >activity.

Good point. It would seem a bit counterproductive to throw the quality away. Cheers, Danny.
