Agile Web Development

This plugin is a non-intrusive, easy to configure, component that is intended to take advantage of the perceptual inferences of the humans to rapidly understand the relationships between the data. This goal is accomplish by using graph drawing techiniques to render the information using just Javascript technology (available in all browsers). More specifically, this plugin allow us to:
- Draw an interactive graph based on your model relationships
- Tooltip functionality over the drawing, showing different fields for each model (set of node) in the graph
- Provides 2 layouts to render the graph: SnowflakeLayout & ForceDirectedLayuot (Using Spring algorithm)
- Configure the depth of the graph you want to render
- Display an image (assosiated with a field of a model) for each node, making the graph more pleasant to see and descriptive at the same time
