Behind the scene

anvaka provided an elegant way to make presenting large graph smoothly in web browser happen. The secret is to separate layout-computing part (i.e. computing each point's (x, y, z) position in browser ) from the whole presenting process. The browser just renders the graph with its layout file that has already been generated.

If you want to use your own graph, just see your-own-graph.
