Overview of this book

Neo4j is a graph database that allows traversing huge amounts of data with ease. This book aims at quickly getting you started with the popular graph database Neo4j. Starting with a brief introduction to graph theory, this book will show you the advantages of using graph databases along with data modeling techniques for graph databases. You'll gain practical hands-on experience with commonly used and lesser known features for updating graph store with Neo4j's Cypher query language. Furthermore, you'll also learn to create awesome procedures using APOC and extend Neo4j's functionality, enabling integration, algorithmic analysis, and other advanced spatial operation capabilities on data. Through the course of the book you will come across implementation examples on the latest updates in Neo4j, such as in-graph indexes, scaling, performance improvements, visualization, data refactoring techniques, security enhancements, and much more. By the end of the book, you'll have gained the skills to design and implement modern spatial applications, from graphing data to unraveling business capabilities with the help of real-world use cases.

Chapter 11. Visualizations for Neo4j

In this chapter, we will look at the fascinating domain of graph visualizations within the context of the Neo4j Graph Database Management System. We will go into the reasons why these kinds of visualizations can be so wonderfully important, discuss different technical tools to help you with these visualizations, and finally, discuss some of the common dos and don'ts within this domain.

In this chapter, we will discuss the following topics:

  • The power of visualizations, specifically graph visualizations
  • The basic principles and components of a graph visualization solution
  • Different visualization libraries and solutions on the market

With that, let's dive right in.
