GUESS

If you're looking for Zoomgraph (the older version of GUESS) click here.

News (9/12/05): This website will soon be moving to www.graphexploration.org. If you set your bookmarks to that website it will redirect you to the most current version of GUESS.

News (4/2/05): Two mailing lists created for GUESS, guess-announce and guess-discuss

News (4/1/05): A new (signed) applet is now available which will let you try out the language features without installing the application. Click here.

News (3/23/05): Lada Adamic's and Natalie Glance's paper on political blogging include a demo using GUESS here.

Try out the unsigned GUESS applet (no interpreter) or the signed one. You can also view this animated gif of GUESS in action.

A database driven system that allows nodes and edges to include attributes beyond basic display features (we support continuous, categorical, and binary attributes).

GUESS lets you represent those features in a database and through a powerful interpreted, embedded (python-based) language which allows you to easily manipulate the graph based on those features and create new programs. For example:

• Color all people in the HR department blue:
  (dept == 'HR').color = blue
• Find all communication edges between HR and Finance and color them red:
  ((dept == 'HR')-(dept == 'finance')).color = red
• Or hide all edges corresponding to two-hybrid protein interactions:
  (interaction == 'two-hybrid').visible = false
• Change the width of all edges with a load > 3:
  (load > 3).width = 4

A zoomable interface to large graphs allowing for the visualization of graphs and networks on an infinite plane with infinite (smooth) zoom. Try the applet to get a sense of this.

Save and animate graph states, see the movie pages for an example. Complete cinematographic control over nodes, edges, and the camera for more powerful dynamic graph visualization.

Various layout algorithms and graph analysis commands.

Talks to R to access pre-implemented statistical analysis routines.

• For Windows
• guess-install.exe A Windows installer. You will still need:
• The Java JRE, and the:
• Java Media Framework JMF
• For Mac OS/Un*x
• Unfortunately, all I can offer you right now is a zip package: guess.zip. You will want to look at guess.bat and guessallgui.bat to get running (better support coming...). Un*x users will still need:
• The JRE, and the:
• JMF

• PDF version of the manual/tutorial (BIG, almost 4 MB)
• HTML version of the manual/tutorial
• Javadoc (what there little there is)
• Mailing lists/forums:
  • GUESS-discuss
  • GUESS-announce

• Applet demo
• Another applet demo. Here we have added a a toolbar that will let you control the displayed edges. The source code for this example is available here.
• An applet with the interpreter
• Lada Adamic's and Natalie Glance's paper on political blogging include a demo using GUESS here.

• Source code available soon, if you have some desperate need for it in the meantime just email me

GUESS uses some great open source software including Piccolo, JUNG, HSQLDB, Jython , and RServe. Special thanks to Dave Feinberg who helped create GUESS, and Josh Tyler who wrote the very first version of Zoomgraph

Questions should go to the GUESS-discuss so we can document questions and answers. GUESS was created, and is maintained, by Eytan Adar (eytan-at-hpl.hp.com).
