DiscretePath

Graphs and networks that are characterized by their origin, nodes, intersections, and other elements, can be studied and approached from various directions and perspectives, but generally speaking, graphical representations work best for such undertakings. Specialized software, such as DiscretePath, offer users more in-depth insight into networks, by allowing them to manipulate, visualize and analyze their characteristics and parameters that derive from that.

One of the first aspects that struck us, was that the app features a dual component layout, which includes the main visualization area, coupled with a handy side-panel, which contains all the essential tools readily available.

The said panel can be detached or docked to the main working area, in accordance with users’ specific requirements, and we believe that this apparently simple functionality aspect can allow for a customized experience.

At the core of DiscretePath, lie its graph visualization capabilities, and aside from viewing existing data, users can also create their own graphs, thanks to a step-by-step wizard that breaks down the entire procedure in a more accessible way.

The list of features that are provided in the adjacent side-panel is quite impressive, and although seeing how little the scroll bar is and how many tools are offered can be daunting, we found their structuring to help avoid such scenarios, and keep users hooked, regardless if they’re novices or not.

If you’re seeking an app that can help you dig deeper into the analysis of graphs and networks, which is not too complex, yet manages to retain all the essential features for such undertakings, then DiscretePath could very well fill those shoes.
