<h1>Graph3d documentation</h1>
<h2 id="Overview">Overview</h2><p>  Graph3d is an interactive visualization chart to draw data in a three dimensional  graph. You can freely move and zoom in the graph by dragging and scrolling in the  window. Graph3d also supports animation of a graph.</p><p>  Graph3d uses <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Canvas">HTML canvas</a>  to render graphs, and can render up to a few thousands of data points smoothly.</p>

<h2 id="Loading">Loading</h2>
<p>  The class name of the Graph3d is <code>vis.Graph3d</code>.  When constructing a Graph3d, an HTML DOM container must be provided to attach  the graph to. Optionally, data an options can be provided.  Data is a vis <code>DataSet</code> or an <code>Array</code>, described in  section <a href="#Data_Format">Data Format</a>.  Options is a name-value map in the JSON format. The available options  are described in section <a href="#Configuration_Options">Configuration Options</a>.</p><pre class="prettyprint lang-js">var graph = new vis.Graph3d(container [, data] [, options]);</pre>
<p>  Data and options can be set or changed later on using the functions  <code>Graph3d.setData(data)</code> and <code>Graph3d.setOptions(options)</code>.</p>
<h2 id="Data_Format">Data Format</h2><p>  Graph3d can load data from an <code>Array</code>, a <code>DataSet</code> or a <code>DataView</code>.  JSON objects are added to this DataSet by using the <code>add()</code> function.  Data points must have properties <code>x</code>, <code>y</code>, and <code>z</code>,  and can optionally have a property <code>style</code> and <code>filter</code>.
<h3>Definition</h3><p>  The DataSet JSON objects are defined as:</p>
<table>  <tr>    <th>Name</th>    <th>Type</th>    <th>Required</th>    <th>Description</th>  </tr>  <tr>    <td>x</td>    <td>number</td>    <td>yes</td>    <td>Location on the x-axis.</td>  </tr>  <tr>    <td>y</td>    <td>number</td>    <td>yes</td>    <td>Location on the y-axis.</td>  </tr>  <tr>    <td>z</td>    <td>number</td>    <td>yes</td>    <td>Location on the z-axis.</td>  </tr>  <tr>    <td>style</td>    <td>number</td>    <td>no</td>    <td>The data value, required for graph styles <code>dot-color</code> and      <code>dot-size</code>.    </td>  </tr>  <tr>    <td>filter</td>    <td>*</td>    <td>no</td>    <td>Filter values used for the animation.      This column may have any type, such as a number, string, or Date.</td>  </tr></table>


<h2 id="Configuration_Options">Configuration Options</h2>
<p>  Options can be used to customize the graph. Options are defined as a JSON object.  All options are optional.</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">var options = {    width:  '100%',    height: '400px',    style: 'surface'};</pre>

The load progress is shown on screen.</td></tr><tr>  <td>animationAutoStart</td>  <td>boolean</td>  <td>false</td>  <td>If true, the animation starts playing automatically after the graph    is created.</td></tr>

Parameter <code>horizontal</code> is a value in radians and can have any    value (but normally in the range of 0 and 2*Pi).    Parameter <code>vertical</code> is a value in radians between 0 and 0.5*Pi.    Parameter <code>distance</code> is the (normalized) distance from the    camera to the center of the graph, in the range of 0.71 to 5.0.

<h2 id="Events">Events</h2><p>  Graph3d fires events after the camera position has been changed.  The event can be catched by creating a listener.  Here an example on how to catch a <code>cameraPositionChange</code> event.</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">function onCameraPositionChange(event) {  alert('The camera position changed to:\n' +        'Horizontal: ' + event.horizontal + '\n' +        'Vertical: ' + event.vertical + '\n' +        'Distance: ' + event.distance);}// assuming var graph3d = new vis.Graph3d(document.getElementById('mygraph'));graph3d.on('cameraPositionChange', onCameraPositionChange);</pre>
