I was really just playing with it on my own not really worried or not if there was all ready a tool out there that did it because I just wanted to play with the code, and having the code is always a good thing and now you can play with the code to. I love the work of Chris Harrison, and think he is the one that gave me the idea to map the internet in the first place. @Bulkan Evcimen Ya thanks for the feedback, graphviz is currently the real benchmark so I need to figure out how to replace that or to make it a lot faster :) Thanks for all the comments.
