How to visualize information diffusion/cascade?

[semenoffalex]

Hi!

I'm really interested if there is a layout/algorithm to visualize diffusion of information or information cascade graph. I understand, that it should look like a tree, but I don't know how to do it.

For example, I have a retweet network and I want to see how a certain tweet is spreading through it. At least a path of it, but dynamic visualization would be even better.

Any ideas?

Hi,

Cool project. You can use the "Layered layout plugin": it does not *exactly* do what you ask but it still is a nice way to see things propagate through generations. You could also use it for a dynamic viz (tweets appearing first close to the center of the screen, then extending to the periphery).
