My wiki page on accessible diagrams of graphs contains several versions
of a seven-node graph: image, descriptive text, DOT, and Cypher.  I =
don't
know how well any of these approaches would scale to a larger graph.

What I can say is that most diagrams of graphs become hard to interpret
visually as the number of nodes increases past a dozen or so.  With very
few exceptions (e.g., architectural and circuit diagrams, maps), a graph
with more than 100 nodes mostly results in "wow, isn't that =
complicated".

So, my take is that some sort of interactive navigation is the only real
answer to absorbing large graphs.  That said, feel free to give feedback
on the versions in the page:

And, if you think of anything that might work better, bring it up!
