InfiniteGraph Visualiser:
InfiniteGraph Visualiser is automatically installed with the InfiniteGraph installation. With this
software, we can visualise the graph we have just created using the java code provided above.
To begin with visualising the graph, we have to first setup the connection. For this, specify the boot
file of your database and connect. Click on Finish button.

Figure 6: Visualiser 1

Here, Ill demonstrate some of the features of InfiniteGraph Visualiser. We can search a vertex by its
name by using the Search -> Named Vertex option as shown below.

Figure 7: Named vertex
Result of searching the named vertex John is shown in the following figure.

Figure 8: Result of named vertex 'John'

Under File -> Preferences, we can set vertex and edge label properties. Change the colors and icons.

Figure 9: Preferences
Below is the screenshot of a sub-graph.

Figure 10: Another subgraph

Clicking on any edge, shows the details of that edge below in the Properties box. The same applies
for vertices too.

Figure 11: Edge details
There are various options under the Navigation menu. One such option is Degrees of Separation. On
searching the named vertex Lisa, with 1 degree of separation we get the following result.

Figure 12: Degrees of Separation

When the degree of separation is 3, we get the following result.

Figure 13: Degrees of Separation
When the degree of separation is 5, we get the following result.
