Here's a applet that traverses the html of a web page and turns it into a pretty graph. There is an online explanation and examples, too—and here's Pharyngula.
The dots are color coded specific classes of html tags. That red flower at the top, for instance, is a table—the Friday Random Ten turned into a kind of carnation.

KEY: What do these colored dots mean?
blue: for links (the A tag)
red: for tables (TABLE, TR and TD tags)
green: for the DIV tag
violet: for images (the IMG tag)
yellow: for forms (FORM, INPUT, TEXTAREA, SELECT and…
OK, PZ, Grrlscientist, and John have all done it. They've used a cool little applet to show their blogs as graphs.
I figured I'd give it a try, too. Why not?
(Click on the image to see the graph construct itself.)
Basically, the applet shows the tree structure of a web page in a rather…
Todays programming pathology is programs as art.
Start with a really simple stack based language, add in a crazy way of encoding instructions using color, and you end up with a masterpiece of beautiful insanity. It's not too exciting from a purely computational point of view, but the programs are…
As an archaeologist I often need to plot coordinates on maps and plans. At every scale, really: from individual finds on the plan of an excavation trench to the distribution of something across Europe. Just dots of varying shapes and colours on various background maps. Most often, it's GPS data…
You've been busy.
For some strange reason UTI is a lot bigger, but I don't know how to post its graph. Your graph's a lot more interesting, though - UTI has nothing like the red carnation.
PZ - you're umbelliferous!
"... a kind of carnation"!? That's a Lily of the Nile if I ever saw one.
Looks like an unrooted haplotype network to me. Like that for cichlids from Verheyen, et al (2003).
Hah. You should see any MySpace user page. There's so much red it's painful.
It took about 5-10 minutes for mine to "settle down". I got a few red carnations out of it too!
Nice plant! Interestingly, are there online tools creating sites structure?
Can I actually get the TITLES (or FILENAMES) of the pages as a tooltip "on mouse over"?
