vis.js==================
Vis.js is a dynamic, browser based visualization library.The library is designed to be easy to use, handle large amountsof dynamic data, and enable manipulation of the data.The library consists of the following components:
- DataSet and DataView. A flexible key/value based data set.  Add, update, and remove items. Subscribe on changes in the data set.  Filter and order items and convert fields of items.- Timeline. Display different types of data on a timeline.  The timeline and the items on the timeline can be interactively moved,  zoomed, and manipulated.- Graph. Display an interactive graph or network with nodes and edges.
The vis.js library is developed by [Almende B.V](http://almende.com).

## Install

Install via npm:
    npm install vis
Install via bower:
    bower install vis
Or download the library from the github project:[https://github.com/almende/vis.git](https://github.com/almende/vis.git).

## Load


To use a component, include the javascript and css files of vis in your web page:
```html<!DOCTYPE HTML><html><head>  <script src="components/vis/dist/vis.js"></script>  <link href="components/vis/dist/vis.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /></head><body>  <script type="text/javascript">    // ... load a visualization  </script></body></html>```
or load vis.js using require.js. Note that vis.css must be loaded too.
```jsrequire.config({  paths: {    vis: 'path/to/vis',  }});require(['vis'], function (math) {  // ... load a visualization});```

A timeline can be instantiated as:
```jsvar timeline = new vis.Timeline(container, data, options);```
Where `container` is an HTML element, `data` is an Array with data or a DataSet,and `options` is an optional object with configuration options for thecomponent.

## Example

A basic example on loading a Timeline is shown below. More examples can befound in the [examples directory](https://github.com/almende/vis/tree/master/examples)of the project.
```html<!DOCTYPE HTML><html><head>  <title>Timeline basic demo</title>  <script src="vis/dist/vis.js"></script>  <link href="vis/dist/vis.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
  <style type="text/css">    body, html {      font-family: sans-serif;    }  </style></head><body><div id="visualization"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">  var container = document.getElementById('visualization');  var data = [    {id: 1, content: 'item 1', start: '2013-04-20'},    {id: 2, content: 'item 2', start: '2013-04-14'},    {id: 3, content: 'item 3', start: '2013-04-18'},    {id: 4, content: 'item 4', start: '2013-04-16', end: '2013-04-19'},    {id: 5, content: 'item 5', start: '2013-04-25'},    {id: 6, content: 'item 6', start: '2013-04-27'}  ];  var options = {};  var timeline = new vis.Timeline(container, data, options);</script></body></html>```

## Build

To build the library from source, clone the project from github
    git clone git://github.com/almende/vis.git
The project uses [jake](https://github.com/mde/jake) as build tool.The build script uses [Browserify](http://browserify.org/) tobundle the source code into a library,and uses [UglifyJS](http://lisperator.net/uglifyjs/) to minify the code.The source code uses the module style of node (require and module.exports) toorganize dependencies.
To install all dependencies and build the library, run `npm install` in theroot of the project.
    cd vis    npm install
Then, the project can be build running:
    npm run build

## Test

To test teh library, install the project dependencies once:
    npm install
Then run the tests:
    npm test
