Vis.js is a dynamic, browser based visualization library. The library is designed to be easy to use, to handle large amounts of dynamic data, and to enable manipulation of and interaction with the data. The library consists of the components DataSet, Timeline, Network, Graph2d, and Graph3d.
The vis.js library is developed by Almende B.V, as part of CHAP. Vis.js runs fine on Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari, IE9+, and most mobile browsers (with full touch support).
npm install vis
bower install vis
A basic example demonstrating how to use the vis.js timeline is shown below. See the gallery below for more examples.
<!doctype html> <html> <head> <link href="http://visjs.org/dist/vis.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <script src="http://visjs.org/dist/vis.js"></script> </head> <body> <div id="mytimeline"></div> <script type="text/javascript"> // DOM element where the Timeline will be attached var container = document.getElementById('mytimeline'); // Create a DataSet with data (enables two way data binding) var data = new vis.DataSet([ {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'} ]); // Configuration for the Timeline var options = {}; // Create a Timeline var timeline = new vis.Timeline(container, data, options); </script> </body> </html>
The timeline from vis.js displays different types of data on a timeline.
The Network visualization visualizes graphs and networks with customizable styles.
The Graph2d visualizes bars and lines in time.
The Graph3d from vis.js visualizes three and four dimensional data.
