The screenshot shows GDE's main window with several open document windows. The active document windows shows a cluster graph with several clusters highlighted by color. The cluster explorer at the right hand side displays the hierarchical nesting structure of clusters and nodes. It allows to move nodes and clusters within the cluster tree and thus provides an easy mean for managing the cluster structure of the graph.

oreas offers the GDE for free as the fully functional, unlimited Community Edition. GDE is also perfectly suited for quickly evaluating the sophisticated layout algorithms contained in the GoVisual libraries.
