Network - nodes

Handles the creation and deletion of nodes and contains the global node options and styles.

Options

The options for the nodes have to be contained in an object titled 'nodes'. All of these options can be supplied per node as well. Obviously, 'id' should not be defined globally but per node. Options defined in the global nodes object, are applied to all nodes. If a node has options of its own, those will be used instead of the global options.

When you have given a node an option, you will override the global option for that property. If you then set that option to null, it will revert back to the default value.

Click on the full options or shorthand options to show how these options are supposed to be used.

These options can also be set per individual node. All of the individual options are explained here:

function (min,max,total,value) {
  if (max === min) {
    return 0.5;
  }
  else {
    var scale = 1 / (max - min);
    return Math.max(0,(value - min)*scale);
  }
}

var scale = customScalingFunction(min,max,total,value);
var diff = maxSize - minSize;
mySize = minSize + diff * scale;
