Something like Graphviz but more specifically, yFiles.
I want a node/edge type of graph visualization.
I was thinking about making the node a Circle and the edge a Line. The problem is what to use for the area where the nodes/edges appear. Should I use a ScrollPane, a regular Pane, a Canvas, etc...
I will add scrolling functionality, zooming, selecting nodes & dragging nodes.
Thanks for the help.

I had 2 hours to kill, so I thought I'd give it a shot. Turns out that it's easy to come up with a prototype.
Here's what you need:
a main class to use the graph library you create
a graph with a data model
easy adding and removing of nodes and edges (turns out that it's better to name the nodes cells in order to avoid confusion with JavaFX nodes during programming)
a layout algorithm for the graph
It's really too much to be asked on SO, so I'll just add the code with a few comments.
The application instantiates the graph, adds cells and connects them via edges.
application/Main.java
package application;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.layout.BorderPane;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
import com.fxgraph.graph.CellType;
import com.fxgraph.graph.Graph;
import com.fxgraph.graph.Model;
import com.fxgraph.layout.base.Layout;
import com.fxgraph.layout.random.RandomLayout;
public class Main extends Application {
Graph graph = new Graph();
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
BorderPane root = new BorderPane();
graph = new Graph();
root.setCenter(graph.getScrollPane());
Scene scene = new Scene(root, 1024, 768);
scene.getStylesheets().add(getClass().getResource("application.css").toExternalForm());
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
addGraphComponents();
Layout layout = new RandomLayout(graph);
layout.execute();
}
private void addGraphComponents() {
Model model = graph.getModel();
graph.beginUpdate();
model.addCell("Cell A", CellType.RECTANGLE);
model.addCell("Cell B", CellType.RECTANGLE);
model.addCell("Cell C", CellType.RECTANGLE);
model.addCell("Cell D", CellType.TRIANGLE);
model.addCell("Cell E", CellType.TRIANGLE);
model.addCell("Cell F", CellType.RECTANGLE);
model.addCell("Cell G", CellType.RECTANGLE);
model.addEdge("Cell A", "Cell B");
model.addEdge("Cell A", "Cell C");
model.addEdge("Cell B", "Cell C");
model.addEdge("Cell C", "Cell D");
model.addEdge("Cell B", "Cell E");
model.addEdge("Cell D", "Cell F");
model.addEdge("Cell D", "Cell G");
graph.endUpdate();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
}
The scrollpane should have a white background.
application/application.css
.scroll-pane > .viewport {
-fx-background-color: white;
}
The zoomable scrollpane, I got the code base from pixel duke:
ZoomableScrollPane.java
package com.fxgraph.graph;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.scene.Group;
import javafx.scene.Node;
import javafx.scene.control.ScrollPane;
import javafx.scene.input.ScrollEvent;
import javafx.scene.transform.Scale;
public class ZoomableScrollPane extends ScrollPane {
Group zoomGroup;
Scale scaleTransform;
Node content;
double scaleValue = 1.0;
double delta = 0.1;
public ZoomableScrollPane(Node content) {
this.content = content;
Group contentGroup = new Group();
zoomGroup = new Group();
contentGroup.getChildren().add(zoomGroup);
zoomGroup.getChildren().add(content);
setContent(contentGroup);
scaleTransform = new Scale(scaleValue, scaleValue, 0, 0);
zoomGroup.getTransforms().add(scaleTransform);
zoomGroup.setOnScroll(new ZoomHandler());
}
public double getScaleValue() {
return scaleValue;
}
public void zoomToActual() {
zoomTo(1.0);
}
public void zoomTo(double scaleValue) {
this.scaleValue = scaleValue;
scaleTransform.setX(scaleValue);
scaleTransform.setY(
