Is graphviz really the only option? I guss so, but the license of
graphviz is very restricted and not comparable
to the usal open source licenses, e.g. GPL or similar.


I spent about a day to find information on graphs in R, search and
searched, tried many libraries, etc.
Compared to other subjects or areas, I found very little and the
quality was limited.

What I need would be:

   - import/export from GraphML
   - basic and advanced graph algorithms

   - nice visualization of graphs (graphviz)
   - interactive input of graphs (or external program and import via GraphML)


Is R the right programming language for that? (I think it is...)

Are there any pointers? Books or tutorials on using R for graph stuff.?



Any help is very much appreciated!
