GUI for building connected blocks

citromatik has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi all

Maybe a long shot...

I am trying to figure out how to build a GUI for creating and managing pipelines graphically, i.e. objects (blocks) connected by different relationships (lines). In other words, I would like to graphically create plots like this one: http://www.ebi.ac.uk/~mp/graph.png but be able to reorganize (drag them), reconnect, create new blocks, connections, etc.

Is anyone aware of any framework (or whatever) that would allow to do something similar?

How would you face the problem?

Thank you very much in advance,

M;

      mxgraph is amazing. I have also found these alternatives: thejit and joint.

      (Sorry for the off-topic --non-Perl-- related comment)

    Tk. But it means lot of work. We at work use it like this.
