Constellation Roamer: Feature List

What makes Constellation Roamer™ the best graph visualization interface?

It provides a better user experience.

Constellation Roamer utilizes an intuitive interface for navigating large graphs and has several optimizations that make it pleasant to use.

• The node layout algorithms were designed to arrange nodes quickly so users don't have to wait.
• The physics engine monitors the visualization and automatically goes into standby mode so CPU cycles aren't wasted.
• For large datasets, information is loaded only as needed so the user doesn't get stuck behind a preloading progress bar.
• Over the three years since the creation of the Constellation Framework™, several optimizations have been added to improve performance. Better performance means a better user experience.

It uses the Flash platform.

Adobe's Flash Player is the most pervasive browser plugin on the net. It is installed on 99% of Internet-enabled desktop computers in mature markets according to the June 2008 Survey. The Flash Player also loads faster than alternatives like the Java plugin.

It integrates seamlessly.

The interface can be embedded into the HTML of your web application and styled to blend in. There are over twenty parameters for customizing the look and feel and the visualization maintains scale when resized.

It's easy to setup.

We kept things simple to reduce the hoop-jumping as much as possible. The visualization loads the data in a straightforward XML format and the SWF can be embedded into a web page like any other Flash movie.
