The GraphStream library. With GraphStream you deal with
graphs. Static and Dynamic. You create them from scratch, from a file
or any source. You display and render them. This is the core package
that contains the minimal needed to read and write a graph.
The newest version!

/**
* An element is a part of a graph (node, edge, the graph itself).
*
*
* An interface that defines common method to manipulate identifiers, attributes
* and indices of the elements (graph, nodes and edges) of a graph.
*
* *
*
* Attributes can be any object and are identified by arbitrary strings. Some
* attributes are stored as numbers or strings and are in this case named
* number, label or vector. There are utility methods to handle these attributes
* ({@link #getNumber(String)}, {@link #getLabel(String)}) or
* {@link #getVector(String)}, however they are also accessible through the more
* general method {@link #getAttribute(String)}.
*
*
*
Important
*
* Implementing classes should indicate the complexity of their implementation
* for each method.
