prefuse library

hi,
is there any possibility to embed the prefuse library?

http://prefuse.org/

does it make sense in my case?

what i want to do is a fluent change between different graphview layouts like in the prefuse flare demo.
There is an Animation between the Node-Link-Tree and the Indented Tree Layout:

http://flare.prefuse.org/demo/

Cool! This is done with the Flare Animation Library.

I don't know if the original prefuse Library offers something like this?
Or are there totally other possiblities in Processing?

I really won't work with Flex.
I really would prefer Processing.

If the node-view is what you are interested in, you could give the traer library a go. The node-link is doable out of the box, you have to work a little on the tree layout. All the properties of the nodes are changeable on the fly so there shouldn't be a problem there.

What are people's feelings on the prefuse library in processing? Is it a good match?

Yes!!

Prefuse adds a lot of simple ways to do data viz, including interactive graphs.

I think that Prefuse does for graphing/animation/tweening what Processing does for Java in general.  You get useful classes for quickly drawing interactive graphs and networks and relatively easy implimentation.

If this gets implimented into Processing let me know!!
