I'm considering to use Cytoscape.js [1] to improve the layout for entity
graph view.
Cytoscape.js is a graph theory (a.k.a. network) library for analysis and
visualisation which under active maintenance (latest release 2.7.8 on Aug
18, 2016) [2], while the current library d3-dagre [3] is declared not being
actively developed or maintained.
Meanwhile, I'm building a proof of concept for visualizing the entity graph
with Cytoscape.
Could anybody give a list on the required features for this view? Any
comments are welcome.
