Tom Sawyer Perspectives 9.2.0 Includes Improved Performance and Hierarchical Layout Enhancements

BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA, USA, December 9, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Tom Sawyer Software, the global leader in graph and data visualization and analysis technology, announces the release of Tom Sawyer Perspectives 9.2.0.

Graph and Data Visualization highlights include performance improvements, schema extraction for OpenAPI RESTful endpoints, and improved hierarchical layout with orthogonal routing. Graph and Data Visualization also includes a dedicated integrator for OrientDB, improved viewport capabilities, and improvements to incremental layout of disconnected nodes to better preserve the user’s mental map. And users can now create custom dialogs using action items in the Designer. Corresponding JavaScript commands are available for users who wish to write custom code.

Tom Sawyer Business Process users will enjoy new table views in Modeling and Execution that make it easy to review and update process elements and spot activities that require action.

In Tom Sawyer Model-Based Engineering, the appearance of edge labels in item flows and nested connectors has been improved. In Tom Sawyer Graph Database Browser, the Neo4j connection form has been updated to handle named databases in Neo4j.
