Tom Sawyer Software | Link Analysis Software

Tom Sawyer Perspectives is a low-code graph and data visualization and analysis development platform. Integrated design and preview interfaces and extensive API libraries allow developers to quickly create custom applications that intuitively solve big data problems.

Use features like advanced edge labeling, precise shape clipping, port and connectors controls, and incremental layout to see the superstructure of your data and produce visually clear graphs that are understood by domain experts and stakeholders alike.

State-of-the-art layouts

We've moved far beyond the competition. Where others support only simple, force-directed (spring embedder) techniques, we offer five interactive graph layout algorithms.

Bundle
Circular
Hierarchical
Orthogonal
Symmetric

Bundle

Where possible, this layout intelligently combines (or bundles) related edges between nodes into one. So instead of seeing five edges leading from five nodes to a common destination, some of those edges bundle together, making the overall graph easier to read.

Circular

Graphs often contain subgraphs of nodes that are more strongly related to each other. Circular layout finds these subgraphs, or clusters, and emphasizes them in the drawing while highlighting the superstructure and detail of the overall graph.

Hierarchical

Hierarchical layout emphasizes dependency relationships and flows. Especially useful for graphs with directed edges, these drawings show that some graph elements depend on others, while other elements do not.

Orthogonal

Edges in Orthogonal layout style are routed with horizontal and vertical segments. This layout produces high-precision visualizations of complex graphs that have many edges, nested components, or specific connection points on nodes.

Symmetric

Symmetric layout emphasizes connected nodes by placing them close to each other and drawing edges with straight lines. This layout is particularly useful for graphs that represent structures that happen in real life such as social or computer networks.

Design and preview

Use the point-and-click Designer interface to perfect your graph visualization and the Previewer interface to see your work in action.

Sophisticated drawing and layout

Why do our customers love us? No other product on the market matches our advanced drawing capabilities.

Global, incremental, and constraint-based layouts with full support for nested diagrams and labeling produce clear, understandable graphs.
The layout system ensures readable edge routing with support for nested connectors, jumpovers, and precise shape clipping.
Complexity management techniques support nested drawings with drill-down, collapse, and expand.
