vis.js ================== Vis.js is a dynamic, browser based visualization library. The library is designed to be easy to use, handle large amounts of 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. A DataSet can filter and order items, and convert fields of items. - DataView. A filtered and/or formatted view on a DataSet. - Graph2d. Plot data on a timeline with lines or barcharts. - Graph3d. Display data in a three dimensional graph. - Network. Display a network (force directed graph) with nodes and edges. - Timeline. Display different types of data on a timeline. 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
``` or load vis.js using require.js. Note that vis.css must be loaded too. ```js require.config({ paths: { vis: 'path/to/vis', } }); require(['vis'], function (math) { // ... load a visualization }); ``` A timeline can be instantiated as: ```js var 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 the component. ## Example A basic example on loading a Timeline is shown below. More examples can be found in the [examples directory](https://github.com/almende/vis/tree/master/examples) of the project. ```html
