Show HN: Interactive graphs in Rerun with a Rust port of D3-force
Rerun 0.21 brings our first iteration on supporting general graphs in Rerun with a new graph view. It also comes wth a host of UX improvements like drag & drop of entities, undo & redo, grids for 3D views and more.
We're therefore super excited to release our first iteration of a Graph view in Rerun 0.21, powered by the new GraphNodes and GraphEdges archetypes. This first version of the view comes without some features we'd like to add over time like support for hierarchical and multi-entity graphs, the ability to associate data with edges, and more layout engines. Graphviz-style (specifically dot) layouts are popular for drawing hierarchical graph diagrams and are great for things like ROS topics, complex data structures, and software architecture.
