<h2 id="Overview">Overview</h2><p>  Graph is a visualization to display graphs and networks consisting of nodes  and edges. The visualization is easy to use and supports custom shapes,  styles, colors, sizes, images, and more.</p>
<p>  The graph visualization works smooth on any modern browser for up to a  few hundred nodes and edges.</p>
<p>  To get started with Graph, install or download the  <a href="http://visjs.org" target="_blank">vis.js</a> library.</p>
<h2 id="Example">Example</h2><p>  Here a basic graph example. Note that unlike the  <a href="timeline.html">Timeline</a>, the Graph does not need the vis.css  file.</p>
<p>  More examples can be found in the  <a href="../examples" target="_blank">examples directory</a>.</p>

&lt;body&gt;
&lt;div id="mygraph"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;  // create an array with nodes  var nodes = [    {id: 1, label: 'Node 1'},    {id: 2, label: 'Node 2'},    {id: 3, label: 'Node 3'},    {id: 4, label: 'Node 4'},    {id: 5, label: 'Node 5'}  ];
  // create an array with edges  var edges = [    {from: 1, to: 2},    {from: 1, to: 3},    {from: 2, to: 4},    {from: 2, to: 5}  ];

&lt;/body&gt;&lt;/html&gt;</pre>

<h2 id="Loading">Loading</h2><p>  Install or download the <a href="http://visjs.org" target="_blank">vis.js</a> library.  in a subfolder of your project. Include the library script in the head of your html code:</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-html">&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="vis/dist/vis.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;</pre>

The constructor of the Graph is <code>vis.Graph</code>.<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">var graph = new vis.Graph(container, data, options);</pre>
The constructor accepts three parameters:<ul>  <li>    <code>container</code> is the DOM element in which to create the graph.  </li>  <li>    <code>data</code> is an Object containing properties <code>nodes</code> and    <code>edges</code>, which both contain an array with objects.    Optionally, data may contain an <code>options</code> object.    The parameter <code>data</code> is optional, data can also be set using    the method <code>setData</code>. Section <a href="#Data_Format">Data Format</a>    describes the data object.  </li>  <li>    <code>options</code> is an optional Object containing a name-value map    with options. Options can also be set using the method    <code>setOptions</code>.    Section <a href="#Configuration_Options">Configuration Options</a>    describes the available options.  </li></ul>
<h2 id="Data_Format">Data Format</h2><p>  The <code>data</code> parameter of the Graph constructor is an object  which can contain different types of data.  The following properties are supported in the <code>data</code> object:</p>
<ul>  <li>    <span style="font-weight: bold;">A property pair <code>nodes</code> and <code>edges</code></span>,    both containing an Array with objects. The data formats are described    in the sections <a href="#Nodes">Nodes</a> and <a href="#Edges">Edges</a>.    Example:<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">var data = {  nodes: [...],  edges: [...]};</pre>  </li>  <li>    <span style="font-weight: bold;">A property <code>dot</code></span>,    containing a string with data in the    <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOT_language" target="_blank">DOT language</a>.    DOT support is described in section <a href="#DOT_language">DOT_language</a>.
    Example:<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">var data = {  dot: '...'};</pre>  </li>  <li>    <span style="font-weight: bold;">A property <code>options</code></span>,    containing an object with global options.    Options can be provided as third parameter in the graph constructor    as well. Section <a href="#Configuration_Options">Configuration Options</a>    describes the available options.
  </li></ul>
<h3 id="Nodes">Nodes</h3>
<p>  Nodes typically have an <code>id</code> and <code>label</code>.  A node must contain at least a property <code>id</code>.  Nodes can have extra properties, used to define the shape and style of the  nodes.</p>
<p>  A JavaScript Array with nodes is constructed like:</p><pre class="prettyprint lang-js">var nodes = [  {    id: 1,    label: 'Node 1'  },  // ... more nodes];</pre>

<p>  Nodes support the following properties:</p>

<h3 id="Edges">Edges</h3>
<p>  Edges are connections between nodes.  An edge must at least contain properties <code>from</code> and  <code>to</code>, both referring to the <code>id</code> of a node.  Edges can have extra properties, used to define the type and style.</p>
<p>  A JavaScript Array with edges is constructed as:</p><pre class="prettyprint lang-js">var edges = [  {    from: 1,    to: 3  },  // ... more edges];</pre>
<p>  Edges support the following properties:</p>
<table>  <tr>    <th>Name</th>    <th>Type</th>    <th>Required</th>    <th>Description</th>  </tr>

<h3 id="DOT_language">DOT language</h3>
<p>  Graph supports data in the  <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOT_language" target="_blank">DOT language</a>.  To provide data in the DOT language, the <code>data</code> object must contain  a property <code>dot</code> with a String containing the data.</p>
<p>  Example usage:</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">// provide data in the DOT languagevar data = {  dot: 'digraph {1 -> 1 -> 2; 2 -> 3; 2 -- 4; 2 -> 1 }'};

<h3 id="Groups">Groups</h3>
<p>It is possible to specify custom styles for groups of nodes.  Each node having assigned to this group gets the specified style.

<h2 id="Clustering">Clustering</h2><p>    The graph now supports dynamic clustering of nodes. This allows a user to view a very large dataset (> 50.000 nodes) without    sacrificing performance. When loading a large dataset, the nodes are clustered initially (this may take a small while) to have a    responsive visualization to work with. The clustering is both outside-in and inside-out. Outside-in means that nodes with only one    connection will be contained, or clustered, in the node it is connected to. Inside-out clustering first determines which nodes are hubs.    Hubs are defined as the nodes with the top 3% highest amount of connections (assuming normal distribution). These hubs then "grow", meaning    they contain the nodes they are connected to within themselves. The edges that were connected to the nodes that are absorbed will be reconnected to the cluster.    <br />    <br />    A cluster is just a node that has references to the nodes and edges it contains. It has an internal counter to keep track of its size, which is then used    to calculate the required forces. The contained nodes are removed from the global nodes index, greatly speeding up the system.    <br />    <br />    The clustering has the following user-configurable settings. The default values have been tested with the Graph examples and work well.    The default state for clustering is <b>off</b>.</p>

<h2 id="Events">Events</h2><p>  Graph fires events after one or multiple nodes are selected.  The event can be catched by creating a listener.</p>
<p>  Here an example on how to catch a <code>select</code> event.</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">function onSelect() {  alert('selected nodes: ' + graph.getSelection());}
vis.events.addListener(graph, 'select', onSelect);</pre>
<p>  The following events are available.</p>
