Your examples don’t really address “gigantic” data. I generated about 1000 Graphviz nodes automatically using Perl in 2000 AD. See http://groups.google.com/group/perfviz?hl=en

So, Graphviz can handle large data sets (in that sense, at least) and if you produce the output as PDF, you can scale it visually.

RE: Graphviz + Perl by markmcb :: NR7

This article and my Slashdot post where I mentioned “gigantic” sets are somewhat separate. I wrote this article to do as the title suggests and describe a means for automating the visualization of data. I wrote the Slashdot post to try and get a sense for what others do in “gigantic” scenarios. I use this same method to dig through several thousand nodes at work in a very similar manner. I use Ruby to help me slice this set up in different ways, as the closing paragraphs suggest.

So basically, take my example and multiply each table I listed by 1000 and this method still works. Thanks for the link.
