SpringGraph is a Adobe Flex 2.0 component that displays a set of items that are linked to each other. The component calculates the layout for the items using an organic-looking annealing algorithm based on the size and links of each item, and draws lines to represent the links. The component allows the user to drag and/or interact with individual items. Data can be provided in XML or as Actionscript objects. The Roamer component is an extension to SpringGraph for browsing large graphs of 10,000 items.
Here are some sample applications that use SpringGraph.



Mark,
Not sure if my comment was submitted.
I am working on a knowledge networking web application and we are considering Flex. We are trying to figure out how much we can re-use, extend, versus rebuild. I would greatly appreciate getting in contact with you to discuss via email or face-to-face if you are in the Silicon Valley area (I am in Sunnyvale).

Hi Arthur,
As far as I can remember Quietlyscheming was the best option. Anyway, lemme go through my bookmarks once again to see if I have something tucked away in some corner. By the way, if u r looking to get some particular probs solved, do post it here. Maybe we can help.
Peace.
udayms,
I have been reviewing Mark Shepherd’s Spring Graph and would very much like to use it for my project, the Amazon example with attached image. I have studied the XML or Roamer example but have not had any good luck creating the Roamer with an attached graphic. I would greatly appreciate some direction on where and how to get started.
Best Regards,

How does Spring relate to RaVis? Looks like they do the same things. Which for what?
