What Is This UI "Thing" Called?

I am wanting to add some functionality to a project I have been working on that graphically allows "nodes" to be connected by lines. It seems when I search on developer information/code samples to do this, I always find nothing really helpful. I think it's because I don't know what it's called to be able to search on it.

Here is a screenshot of what I'm talking about: http://kxstudio.linuxaudio.org/Applicat … #Interface

Can anyone tell me what I should be searching for to get more information in writing something like this? Or do I just need to implement it myself in whatever GUI framework I use (Kivy or PyGlet or something more appropriate)?

Target language: Python
Target platform: Linux, Mac, Windows

I've seen similar things called "node graph"?

I might be misunderstanding the question, but I think the general term you are looking for is 'diagrammatic programming'.

Thanks, guys. Searching for “python node graph ui” has lead to this, which looks promising:
