Hi : Is there a way to convert a graphviz file into a GUI (i.e. using swing) ? I want to be able to click on nodes, and plugin popups or actionlisteners associated with each node in a graphviz interface.

Im sure there exist some java API's for dealing with graphviz data, so I may simply convert a graphviz object into a jgraphT graph, and visualize that way.... But Im keeping my hopes up that somebody has had this idea before and, maybe, there exists a graphviz-ui builder, somewhere out there.

I wouldnt mind if such a ui existed in another language (i.e. python) ... But java would be my preference.

Certainly, there are other people thinking along these lines : Interactive Graphviz graphs in a web application

However, I want to use graphviz to debug a large data flow, which we have mapped visually library, wherein I want to click a node, and then read some files from the local disc based on that click . Thus, a simple javascript gui to graphviz might not be a valid solution for me.

I have used ZGRViewer, which is open source java. It lets you navigate the graphviz generated svg, and might be a good starting point for your project.

It's not a UI builder, or API as the details of your question ask, but it is a nice graphviz interactive ui, and you might be able to get some hooks in on the existing click command.
