Nice work Xi Jin!

This reminds me of Damian Steer's tool from so many years ago that I have forgotten its name (but someone probably knows - danbri?). Are the colours configurable? (The original ask was for black and white printing, and black on blue is tough even for me to read on the screen).


I just updated my repository (fatestigma/ontology-visualization<https://github.com/fatestigma/ontology-visualization>) with colors configuration.

In order to make it b&w, you can pass a JSON format configuration like following (it supports MATLAB-stype, HEX, and common color name):

{
  "colors": {
    “class”: "k",
    “literal": "black",
    “instance": "#000000",
    "filled": false
  }
}

Example output looks like:

Please forgive the very secular nature of this question.
I have to draw a few RDF graphs as diagrams. They should look crisp and tidy, black&white. Is there some software that everybody uses when preparing a scientific paper? Or is it just either CorelDraw or PostScript commands written in TextEdit?
Thanks a lot,

The W3C Note on N-ary relations [0] has some nice looking graphs too. Many LOD publications [1][2] seem to use a similar tool or template. This is probably too colorful for a paper but I do like the style. Does someone know what they used?
