Cosmograph graph visualization tool
Huge news for Cosmograph 馃獝
While everyone was on Thanksgiving break, I was polishing up the next big Cosmograph update, which I'm finally ready to share!
More than three years after the initial release, Cosmograph remains the only single-node web-based tool capable of visualizing graphs with 1 million points and way more than a million links due to its unique GPU Force Layout and Rendering engine cosmos.gl.
However, it also had a few major weaknesses like poor memory management and limited analytical capabilities. Version 2.0 of Cosmograph solves these problems by incorporating:
- DuckDB (the best in-memory analytics database);
- Mosaic (the fastest cross-filtering and visual analytics framework for the web);
- SQLRooms (an open-source React toolkit for human and agent collaborative analytics apps by Ilya Boyandin) as its foundation;
- The latest version of cosmos.gl (our core force simulation and rendering engine that recently joined OpenJS) to give you even faster performance, more forces, and the long-awaited point-dragging functionality!
What does this mean in practice?
- Work with larger datasets and use SQL (thanks to WebAssembly and DuckDB);
- Much better performance (filtering, timeline, changing visual properties of the graph, etc.);
- Open Parquet files natively;
- Save your graphs to the cloud and share them with the world easily.
And if you work with ML embeddings and love Apple's Embedding Atlas (https://lnkd.in/gsWt6CNT), you'll love Cosmograph too since they have a lot in common.
If all the above has excited you, go check out Cosmograph's new beautiful website, and share the news with the world 馃檹
