Gruff v5.9 Now Available - New Screen Layout Options
Gruff Horizontal View
Gruff's new command "Layout | Do Tree Layout from Selected Node" creates a traditional tree layout from the nodes and links that are currently displayed, using the selected node as the arbitrary root node of the tree. The tree is then laid out using the shortest path to each connected node, with cycles in the graph displayed as links to additional parents in the tree. Heuristics similar to kerning are used to reduce the overall breadth of the graph, to reduce the amount of scrolling that's needed.
Several options for it are on the new "Visual Graph Options | Tree Layout Options" child menu. And the new command "Layout | Do Tree-Like Spring Layout" does just that.

For additional information, see the Gruff Documentation

AllegroGraph Container for Docker - Now Available
Docker Logo
The AllegroGraph Docker container is now available on Docker Hub.
Docker containers have similar resource isolation and allocation benefits as virtual machines but a different architectural approach allows them to be much more portable and efficient.
Running AllegroGraph in a Docker container on Mac OS X and Windows is as easy as:
  • Install Boot2Docker/Docker
  • Install and run AllegroGraph
  • Install Gruff
Linux users can use the same container, but do not need boot2docker.

Forrester Research Covers AllegroGraph - "Invest In Graph Databases To Succeed In The Age Of The Customer"
Forrester Logo
To support the demands of the digital business, enterprise architects must consider how best to link large volumes of complex, siloed data. Linking a few data sources is often simple, but to do so with significant amounts of heterogeneous data requires a radically new approach.
Graph databases are a powerful optimized technology that link billions of pieces of connected data to help create new sources of value for customers and increase operational agility for customer service. After all, customers are people - and people are shaped by their relationships. Because graph databases track connections among entities and offer links to get more detailed information, they are well-suited for scenarios in which relationships are important, such as cybersecurity, social network analysis, eCommerce recommendations, dependence analysis, and predictive analytics.
