Hi,
I found out that graphviz fails on large data sets.

Try out the GUESS project instead. It uses java, allows zooming, and allows dynamic scripting of data with python.

I found out that graphviz fails on large data sets.

How do you define large? 1000 nodes? 10,000 nodes? 1,000,000 nodes? Obviously, as the number of nodes increase, the difficulty in navigating the graph increases, so java would be helpful there. However, I tend to dislike java as a solution as it usually is rather slow, and a giant pdf might work just as well. That is, of course, if GUESS does not allow the layout to be redrawn dynamically.
