I have two projects on my plate where the underlying data
model is a
directed graph (a node object has a path/relationship to
another node
object; http://en.wikiped
ia.org/wiki/Graph_(mathematics) for non-math
people). I've been successful in implementing Self
Referential
many-to-many relationships to provide the structure
(http:/
/www.railsweenie.com/forums/2/topics/768), but I also
need
visualization, something that can display the entire graph
on a huge
SVG. We're also talking thousands of nodes with plenty of
edges as
well, so it has to be something that can handle a lot of
data well.

Does anyone know a good Ruby library that can draw a
directed graph
well? Alternatively, any library that runs on linux and
generates a
nice looking graph. No, I'm not looking for charts like the
Gruff
library.

Appreciate any pointers...
