Right now, I am working with zgrviewer. It is nice. I need to learn move about it, so that I could, for instance, click on a node and then ask it to move up the tree.

If you show me a picture of one of these graphs, and tell me what you'd like zgrviewer to do when you click on a node, I can tell you how difficult this would be to achieve (in any case it will require some amount of Java programming).
