Abstract
Systems for rendering graphs in browsers. A method embodiment for generating and manipulating a high-performance graph in a browser commences by receiving a set of node descriptions of the graph as well as a set of edge descriptions of the graph. In a first display layer, one or more HTML primitives are assigned to the individual ones of the set of nodes. In a second display layer, one or more non-HTML display graphical elements are assigned to the individual ones of the set of edges. The edges and nodes are sorted into a painting order based on size. The first layer and the second layer are combined into an HTML document that comprises at least some of the HTML primitives that correspond to the nodes as well as at least some of the non-HTML display graphical elements that correspond to the edges of the graph. The browser renders the graph.
