Manylines is a web application enabling users to build narrations around the guided tour of some given network.
The user is then able to import a graph stored as a gexf file, to spatialize it and to explore its various categories and metrics. It then becomes possible to build one or many narrations by chaining "views" of the graph. Those views remember a specific state of the visualization by combining camera position and some filters over the graph's categories and values.
Finally, the application enables users to publish their narrations on the web in order to integrate them to other web sites, within an article for instance.
However this application has now been archived and will not let users save and publish their work anymore. It is nevertheless still online and can still be used to explore a graph. Likewise, every narration published when the application was not yet archived are still working and online without any issue. For instance, this narration published as a demo for the application during FOSDEM 2015 is still online.
