- <h1>Graph documentation</h1>
-
- <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>

- Here a basic graph example. Note that unlike the

- file.

- <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">
- <script type="text/javascript" src="vis/dist/vis.js"></script>
- </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>
- Graph supports data in the

-
- <p>
- Example usage:
- </p>
-
- <pre class="prettyprint lang-js">

- <h3 id="Clustering">Clustering</h3>
- <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>.
