      NetDraw is 
      a free program written by Steve Borgatti for visualizing both 1-mode and 2-mode social 
      network data. It can handle multiple relations at the same time, and can 
      use node attributes to set colors, shapes, and sizes of nodes. Pictures 
      can be saved in metafile, jpg, gif and bitmap formats. 
		 
        
      The program reads UCINET system files, UCINET DL files, Pajek files, and its own VNA format 
      (which allows saving network and attribute data together, along with 
      layout information like spatial coordinates, colors, etc.). 
      IMPORTANT: 
      If you format data as a VNA file, NETDRAW can handle  large files.
		For example, sparse networks of 3500 nodes are very practical on a machine 
      with 1GB of RAM (more is better). 10,000 nodes works fine with 2GB of RAM 
      (assuming it is very sparse, of course). 
		 
        Please make sure that 
      your UCINET program is calling the latest version of NETDRAW. You can ensure this in UCINET by going to the OPTIONS menu and choosing "Helper Applications".
