Bug Description

SocNetV offers structural and dynamic network visualizations. The former are based on centrality indices and work OK: they produce meaningful network layouts even for quite large networks.

But dynamic visualizations based on force-directed algorithms (aka Spring-Embedder) are very CPU-intensive even for moderate networks and they produce poor final layouts.

Changed in socnetv:
assignee: nobody → Dimitris Kalamaras (dimitris-kalamaras)
importance: Undecided → High
status: New → Confirmed
Changed in socnetv:
milestone: none → 0.7.0
no longer affects: socnetv/0.x
summary: - Spring Embedder dynamic layout is not usable with large networks
+ Force-Directed algorithms are slow and produce poor layouts
