By programmatically I just mean passing coordinates to a function like graph-draw.  But does graph_draw() accept z coordinates, or only (x,y) coordinates?  I assume it is only (x,y) since you say that graph-tool does not have 3D visualization.  I suppose I could write code to project a 3d set of nodes onto a 2d plane, and then alter node sizes to add the effect of perspective.  But I am hoping to find a program that does this natively and quickly for large graphs.

Thanks again!

Graph-tool does not have any 3D visualization routines.

But what do you mean with specifying the node positions
'programmatically'?  In graph tool you can pass any position property
map to the graph_draw() function...

Best,
Tiago
