Data flow visualisation

Question

I'm searching for a program where I can visualize all my data flow. I've made a simple example:

Is there a way how I can visualize all the data. I've found examples of "Prefuse" and "Flare". But there's too much to add to the examples. Isn't there a nice program wich has it all?'

• it's preffered when I can connect the data to a database. So the whole process will be automated.
• it's preffered when I can collaps/uncollaps the systems and application flow(e.g. when I click on an application, the arrows appear).

I hope someone can help.

Answer 1

you can use Graphviz (http://www.graphviz.org/) for creating the vizualization. for the database connection, you could use a programming language to generate the input to the graphviz program. I had this same problematic and used a combination of SAS and Graphviz to solve it. hope that helps.
