I generated a network in R and exported it as a GraphML file (800 MB, over 1,000 nodes). Attempting to visualize it in Cytoscape causes crashes or freezes during import.

Are there,

  • Alternative tools better suited for large networks?
  • Preprocessing strategies to simplify the file (e.g., filtering nodes/edges, reducing attributes)?
  • Workarounds to visualize subsets or optimize performance in existing tools?
  • I prefer open-source or freely available solutions. Any advice on balancing detail and performance would be appreciated.
