Get a single item, multiple items, or all items from the DataView.
Usage examples can be found in section <ahref="#Getting_Data">Getting Data</a>, and the available <code>options</code> are described in section <ahref="#Data_Selection">Data Selection</a>. If parameter <code>data</code> is provided, items will be appended to this array or table, which is required in case of Google DataTable.

Refresh the filter results of a DataView. Useful when the filter function contains dynamic properties, like:

var view = new vis.DataView(data, {
filter: function (item) {
return item.value > threshold;
}

In this example, <code>threshold</code> is an external parameter. When the value of <code>threshold</code> changes, the DataView must be notified that the filter results may have changed by calling <code>DataView.refresh()</code>.

<td>This is a function you can override to make the nodes scale the way you want them based on their values. The default function is this: <br>

function (min,max,total,value) {

return 0.5;

else {
var scale = 1 / (max - min);

</pre>
The function receives the minimum value of the set, the maximum value, the total sum of all values and finally the value of the node or edge it works on. It has to return a value between 0 and 1.
The nodes and edges then calculate their size as follows:
<preclass="prettyprint lang-js">
var scale = customScalingFunction(min,max,total,value);
var diff = maxSize - minSize;
mySize = minSize + diff * scale;</pre>
