<h1>Network documentation</h1>
<h2 id="Overview">Overview</h2><p>  Network is a visualization to display networks 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 network visualization works smooth on any modern browser for up to a  few thousand nodes and edges. To handle a larger amount of nodes, Network  has <a href="#Clustering">clustering</a> support. Network uses  <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Canvas">HTML canvas</a>  for rendering.</p>
<p>    Every dataset is different. Nodes can have different sizes based on content, interconnectivity can be high or low etc. Because of this, network has a special option    that the user can use to explore which settings may be good for you. Use configurePhysics as described in the <u><a href="#PhysicsConfiguration">Physics</a></u> section or by    <u><a href="../examples/Network/25_physics_configuration.html">example 25</a></u>.</p>
<p>  To get started with Network, install or download the  <a href="http://visjs.org" target="_blank">vis.js</a> library.</p>

&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 Network is <code>vis.Network</code>.<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">var network = new vis.Network(container, data, options);</pre>
The constructor accepts three parameters:<ul>  <li>    <code>container</code> is the DOM element in which to create the network.  </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 Network 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 network 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>Alternatively, a vis DataSet can also be used:<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">var nodes = new vis.DataSet();nodes.add([    {id: '1', label: 'Node 1'},    {id: '2', label: 'Node 2'},    {id: '3', label: 'Node 3'},    {id: '4', label: 'Node 4'},    // ... more nodes]);</pre>When using a DataSet, the network is automatically updating to changes in the DataSet.
<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>Alternatively, a vis DataSet can also be used:<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">var edges = new vis.DataSet();edges.add([    {from: '1', to: '2'},    {from: '1', to: '3'},    {from: '2', to: '4'},    {from: '2', to: '5'},    // ... more edges]);</pre>When using a DataSet, the network is automatically updating to changes in the DataSet.

<p>  Network 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>

<h3 id="Physics">Physics</h3><p>    The original simulation method was based on particel physics with a repulsion field (potential) around each node,    and the edges were modelled as springs. The new system employed the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barnes%E2%80%93Hut_simulation">Barnes-Hut</a> gravitational simulation model. The edges are still modelled as springs.    To unify the physics system, the damping, repulsion distance and edge length have been combined in an physics option. To retain good behaviour, both the old repulsion model and the Barnes-Hut model have their own parameters.    If no options for the physics system are supplied, the Barnes-Hut method will be used with the default parameters. If you want to customize the physics system easily, you can use the configurePhysics option. <br/>    When using the hierarchical display option, hierarchicalRepulsion is automatically used as the physics solver. Similarly, if you use the hierarchicalRepulsion physics option, hierarchical display is automatically turned on with default settings.

To facilitate this, a new event has been added called resize.    A function can be bound to this event. This function is supplied with the new widht and height of the canvas. The CSS can then be updated accordingly.

<h3 id="Clustering">Clustering</h3><p>  The network 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 Network examples and work well.  The default state for clustering is <b>off</b>.</p>
