An overview of graph visualization tools. FD = Force-directed layout, Rank = GraphViz-style rank-based layout, SM = Sorted-matrix layout, A = Assembly graph, S = Scaffold graph, V = Variation graph, B = Base-level view, L = Linear view, UI = User interface, App = native application, Web = browser-based interface, CLI = command-line tool.
