number of nodes
Nov 26th, 2007, 6:32pm  
Hi,

I am looking for a software package to visualize social networks and draw those online interactions on map of the real world. Before getting started am wondering if any one knows if there is any limit on the numbers of nodes that processing can accept as a dataset of a graph? Since I wil be working with huge number of nodes your answer would save me lots of time and effort.

Thanks

There's no hard limit, but you may find if you add too many it'll run really really slowly.

If it's any value for you, I created an application that gets the data from facebook and displays it as nodes in Processing.
Check out: http://processing.org/discourse/yabb_beta/YaBB.cgi?board=Exhibition;action=display;num=1193799621

I noticed that using OPENGL I could only manage about 35 nodes before the lagg becomes unbearable. In P3D I could go higher than 100 and still have a better performance than with OPENGL.

I guess it depends what you display and how you display it.

Cheers
