  31. <p>
  32. Graph is a visualization to display graphs and networks consisting of nodes
  33. and edges. The visualization is easy to use and supports custom shapes,
  34. styles, colors, sizes, images, and more.
  35. </p>
  36. <p>
  37. The graph visualization works smooth on any modern browser for up to a
  38. few hundred nodes and edges.
  39. </p>
  40. <p>
  41. To get started with Graph, install or download the
  42. <a href="http://visjs.org" target="_blank">vis.js</a> library.
  43. </p>
  44. <h2 id="Example">Example</h2>
  45. <p>

  47. <a href="../examples" target="_blank">examples directory</a>.

  86. &lt;/html&gt;
  87. </pre>
  88. <h2 id="Loading">Loading</h2>
  89. <p>
  90. Install or download the <a href="http://visjs.org" target="_blank">vis.js</a> library.
  91. in a subfolder of your project. Include the library script in the head of your html code:
  92. </p>
  93. <pre class="prettyprint lang-html">
  94. &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="vis/vis.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  95. </pre>
  96. The constructor of the Graph is <code>vis.Graph</code>.
  97. <pre class="prettyprint lang-js">var graph = new vis.Graph(container, data, options);</pre>
  98. The constructor accepts three parameters:
  99. <ul>
  100. <li>
  101. <code>container</code> is the DOM element in which to create the graph.
  102. </li>
  103. <li>
  104. <code>data</code> is an Object containing properties <code>nodes</code> and
  105. <code>edges</code>, which both contain an array with objects.
  106. Optionally, data may contain an <code>options</code> object.
  107. The parameter <code>data</code> is optional, data can also be set using
  108. the method <code>setData</code>. Section <a href="#Data_Format">Data Format</a>
  109. describes the data object.
  110. </li>
  111. <li>
  112. <code>options</code> is an optional Object containing a name-value map
  113. with options. Options can also be set using the method
  114. <code>setOptions</code>.
  115. Section <a href="#Configuration_Options">Configuration Options</a>
  116. describes the available options.
  117. </li>
  118. </ul>
  119. <h2 id="Data_Format">Data Format</h2>
  120. <p>
  121. The <code>data</code> parameter of the Graph constructor is an object
  122. which can contain different types of data.
  123. The following properties are supported in the <code>data</code> object:
  124. </p>
  125. <ul>
  126. <li>
  127. <span style="font-weight: bold;">A property pair <code>nodes</code> and <code>edges</code></span>,
  128. both containing an Array with objects. The data formats are described
  129. in the sections <a href="#Nodes">Nodes</a> and <a href="#Edges">Edges</a>.
  130. Example:
  131. <pre class="prettyprint lang-js">
  132. var data = {
  133. nodes: [...],
  134. edges: [...]
  135. };
  136. </pre>
  137. </li>
  138. <li>
  139. <span style="font-weight: bold;">A property <code>dot</code></span>,
  140. containing a string with data in the
  141. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOT_language" target="_blank">DOT language</a>.
  142. DOT support is described in section <a href="#DOT_language">DOT_language</a>.
  143. Example:
  144. <pre class="prettyprint lang-js">
  145. var data = {
  146. dot: '...'
  147. };
  148. </pre>
  149. </li>
  150. <li>
  151. <span style="font-weight: bold;">A property <code>options</code></span>,
  152. containing an object with global options.
  153. Options can be provided as third parameter in the graph constructor
  154. as well. Section <a href="#Configuration_Options">Configuration Options</a>
  155. describes the available options.
  156. </li>
  157. </ul>
  158. <h3 id="Nodes">Nodes</h3>
  159. <p>
  160. Nodes typically have an <code>id</code> and <code>label</code>.
  161. A node must contain at least a property <code>id</code>.
  162. Nodes can have extra properties, used to define the shape and style of the
  163. nodes.
  164. </p>
  165. <p>
  166. A JavaScript Array with nodes is constructed like:
  167. </p>
  168. <pre class="prettyprint lang-js">
  169. var nodes = [
  170. {
  171. id: 1,

  173. },
  174. // ... more nodes
  175. ];
  176. </pre>
