Okay. So these guys at TouchGraph create a very fast visualization engine. No biggie. But they can use it to visualize a wiki!

Go to this page, then download the TGWikiBrowser. You'll need Java for this - and I recommend JDK1.4 for the sheer speed increase.

They come with a MeatballWiki visualizer installed. You can play with that, or you can download a JSPWiki link file (generated on 21-Apr-2002), by clicking here.

Then, launch the TGWikiBrowser with the following simple command (on UNIX systems):

java -cp TGWikiBrowser.jar:BrowserLauncher.jar com.touchgraph.wikibrowser.TGWikiBrowser jspwiki.txt 
http://www.ecyrd.com/JSPWiki/Wiki.jsp\?page= Main

or on Windows systems:

java -cp TGWikiBrowser.jar;BrowserLauncher.jar com.touchgraph.wikibrowser.TGWikiBrowser jspwiki.txt 
http://www.ecyrd.com/JSPWiki/Wiki.jsp?page= Main

Creating the link file via XML-RPC#

You can also use the following snippet of Java to recreate the JSPWiki link list at any time. You need the Hula package from MahlenMorris to do this.

import org.mahlen.hula.rpcclient.*;

/**
 *  Creates a simple link map for the TouchGraph WikiBrowser v1.1 to standard
 *  output.
 *
 *  <P>
 *  Usage: java Visualizer [optional url] > wikiname.txt
 *  <P>
 *  If the optional url is not defined, contacts JSPWiki.  Requires
 *  the Hula library from Mahlen Morris, and the Jakarta XML-RPC library 
 *  for Java.
