Re:Sigma.js: a lightweight JavaScript library to draw graphs by jacomyal on Thursday March 22, 2012 @07:13PM (#3742546)
I am formerly a big fan and user of Gephi, so I think graph drawing is "important enough" to deserve its own JavaScript library, which is why I made sigma.js. I know d3.js is already a great tool, but it looked hardcore for me to tweak it to draw graphs on a Canvas element (it is more easy to use SVG elements). And basically, using a Canvas makes it much more scalable.

About the features to come, you can check https://github.com/jacomyal/sigma.js/blob/master/TODO.txt to see what will come soon. Also, of course, don't hesitate to add some ideas you have in that list :)

Look cool!

What's the end design goal & roadmap? Esp relative to d3.js?

Do you plan to overlap and to which extent?

I really like this. It's pretty damn fast. M sharing it everywhere.
