Ask HN: any recommended web based interactive graphing tools?

I'm trying to graph a social network plus meta data. This is essentially graphing a subset of a social graph with transaction information. The goal is to build a graph based admin tool, accessible over the web.

I'd like to quickly identify subgroups by dynamically adding and removing users and selectively adding depth and breadth to the data displayed. I'd like to connect to a live server and display the results in a browser.

I think Processing is the best tool for the job, but I wanted to ask the community here for input. By the way, http://processing.org is horrible name for googling.

I'd also love to see any examples of graphs, tool tips, and user input that loads more data from a server done in processing. For a live site, I wouldn't be surprised if processing.js is a better choice.



On the Processing front: Ben Fry et al. recommend you google for "processing.org". You can try "p5" too - it used to be at proce55ing.org before they got the non-leet domain, but the nickname's stuck around.
