I worked on something like this Back when Firefox 1.5 was just about to be released, there was an “Extend Firefox” contest. I worked on an extension that used SVG to draw graphs somewhat like these. I stopped working on it because I never got my code to perform well and the contest deadline came and went. I would be willing to share my code and perhaps revive the project if you are interested. Contact me if you want to discuss, I will have to dig up the code and dust it off, I think I can make a demo version that loads as a normal html page in Firefox.

For extra credit… If you have the spare time on your hands, why not make a rendering engine which will do a graphviz-type layout in GWT-friendly Java, then use GWT to turn it into JavaScript… perhaps more easy to add features like dragging nodes around, pan and zoom.

Any chance you might share this code? Your idea is fascinating, and although I’ve never worked with Graphviz, I would like to experiment with writing RSS fed graphs this way - could you share the specific code you used in Graphviz to produce the graphs you displayed in your post?
