Question

I need to draw a graph composed by 1876 clusters organized in the following manner:

962 clusters composed by 1 node
651 clusters composed by 2 nodes
144 clusters composed by 3 nodes
52  clusters composed by  4 nodes
24  clusters composed by  5 nodes
8   clusters composed by 6 nodes
8 clusters composed by 7 nodes
2 clusters composed by 8 nodes
4 clusters composed by 9 nodes
3 clusters composed by 10 nodes
1 cluster composed by  11 nodes
1 cluster composed by  12 nodes
4 clusters composed by 13 nodes
1 cluster composed by  16 nodes
1 cluster composed by  21 nodes
1 cluster composed by  22 nodes
1 cluster composed by  24 nodes
1 cluster composed by  25 nodes
1 cluster composed by  26 nodes
1 cluster composed by  29 nodes
2 clusters composed by 31 nodes
1 cluster composed by  43 nodes
1 cluster composed by  65 nodes
1 cluster composed by  4843953 nodes

I tried several software included pajek, SocNet but they seems to be more node centered (they let you perform statistics and some advanced operations on the nodes). Instead, I don’t care about the node itself and I neither care about their connections. I just want to show such clusters with the nodes inside.
Does anyone know any software that should help me?

P.S That is the livejournal’s graph

Answer 1

I don’t think that you will get a reasonable answer to your question, but I want to provide my 2 cents here:

• Have a look at examples how to draw graphs of graphs, and reformulate your problem then.
• How should one cluster visualized? Most of the clusters are easy to visualize, but the one with 4.843.953 nodes is a killer. I suspect that it won’t be suitable to visualize that cluster together with the others …
• The best what I have seen up to now is the Software from TowSawyer to visualize graphs. But the software comes with a high price tag, perhaps it could help to get a clear idea how to visualize.

When you have found answers and details to the remarks above, I think there will be a way to visualize them accordingly.
