Thanks for information
I have tried to label the nodes but it doesnt work, could you tell me what is the correct form to do that in a graph file?

I would be grateful

Greetigs,
Daniel

Thanks for the kind words.
Indeed adding labels to the graph file (e.g. labeling all the nodes) was also requestet by the secviz guys. Unfortunately I had no time to look into it as of now however I’m planning to do so. It certainly is possible and not all that difficult to do.

Happy New Year,
Sebastian

Sebastien,

Many thanks for this tool, which I came across while looking into writing a parser of my own for some data on trust links between UNIX hosts.

Although walruscsv is useful, the fact that node name information is lost in the creation of the graph file is a limitation.

In my case, a node with many direct links is a node of interest, but I can’t easily identify what it is…

If you’re thinking of doing further development (ahem), might I suggest either adding labels to the graph file, either as attributes of the nodes, or even just as in-line comments?

After the Christmas break, I’ll get to work on a Perl parser (I have no C skills at all), and if I manage the above successfully, will send you the results.

In the meantime, thanks again for the tool (and especially for making it public); also for the link to secviz – just what I was looking for!

Best wishes for Christmas and the New Year,
S
