Social Networks Visualizer (SocNetV) is a flexible and user-friendly tool for the analysis and visualization of Social Networks. It lets you construct networks (mathematical graphs) with a few clicks on a virtual canvas or load networks of various formats (GraphViz, GraphML, Adjacency, Pajek, UCINET, etc) and modify them to suit your needs. SocNetV also offers a built-in web crawler, allowing you to automatically create networks from all links found in a given initial URL.

The application can compute basic network properties, such as density, diameter and distances (shortest path lengths), as well as more advanced structural statistics, such as node and network centralities (i.e. closeness, betweeness, graph), clustering coefficient, etc.

Various layout algorithms (i.e. Spring-embedder, radial and layered according to node centralization) are supported for meaningful visualizations of your networks. Furthermore, random networks (Erdos-Renyi, Watts-Strogatz, ring lattice, etc) can be created with a few clicks.

SocNetV is a work in progress and is being developed in C++ and Qt, an open-source GUI development toolkit from Nokia. Our primary target platform is Linux, but you can compile and run SocNetV on OS X and Windows as well, as long as you have Qt4 libraries installed.

The program is Free Software, licensed under the GNU General Public License 3 (GPL3).
Be aware, there is no warranty of efficiency, correctness or usability. But you can copy it as many times as you wish, or modify it, provided you keep the same license for the new code.
