There's this anvaka guy on github ( https://github.com/anvaka ) who does some amazing graph stuff.

His ngraph has less features than cytoscape but if you need to plot large graphs it has a crazy good performance.

And his galaxies are amazing as well, https://anvaka.github.io/pm/#/?_k=9kvbgq . Precalculated positions for all NPM packages for example. Crazy stuff, really fun.

But yeah, cytoscape.js is nice and has great set of features.

Yes! I looked at a bunch graph visualization libraries in the past. Cytoscape did not impressed me. Anvaka's ngraph and VivaGraphJS seemed pretty closer to what I wanted.

VivaGraph might be what I've been looking for! Thanks! http://www.yasiv.com/amazon#/Search?q=graph%20drawing&catego... https://github.com/anvaka/VivaGraphJS

Cryptoscape looks really awesome but i'm having trouble locating the source code of the demos like this one http://js.cytoscape.org/demos/images-breadthfirst-layout/ actually figured out how to open dev tools without a mouse and its simple too.

How hard is it to teach either of these libs about Clojure data structures? (Without copying them into plain js objects)

Cryptoscape - unclear how to use actual dom to style nodes, not just css classes (or if this is possible at all)
