<h1>Network</h1>
<p>Network is a visualization to display networks and networks consisting of nodes and edges. The visualization
is easy to use and supports custom shapes, styles, colors, sizes, images, and more.
The network visualization works smooth on any modern browser for up to a few thousand nodes and edges. To
handle a larger amount of nodes, Network has clustering support. Network uses HTML canvas for rendering.</p>
<p>As of 4.0, the network consists of individual modules which handle specific parts of the network. These modules
have their own docs, options, methods and events which you can access
by clicking on the modules in the list below.</p>

<h3>Creating a Network</h3>
<p>
Creating a vis network is easy. <a href="http://visjs.org/#download_install" target="_blank">It requires you to
include the vis.js and css files which you can get here</a>. If you have these
added to your application, you will need to specify your nodes and edges. You can use DOT language or export
nodes and edges from Gephi if you'd like but we will do it without these for now.
For more information on this click the tabs below. You can also use the vis.DataSets for dynamic data binding,
for instance, changing the color, label or any option after you have initialized the network.
<br><br>
Once you have the data, all you need is a container div to tell vis where to put your network. Additionally you
can use an options object to customize many aspects of the network. In code this
looks like this:</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-html options">
&lt;html&gt;
&lt;head&gt;
&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="../../dist/vis.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;link href="../../dist/vis.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /&gt;
&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;
#mynetwork {
width: 600px;
height: 400px;
border: 1px solid lightgray;
}
&lt;/style&gt;
&lt;/head&gt;
&lt;body&gt;
&lt;div id="mynetwork"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
// create an array with nodes
var nodes = new vis.DataSet([
{id: 1, label: 'Node 1'},
{id: 2, label: 'Node 2'},
{id: 3, label: 'Node 3'},
{id: 4, label: 'Node 4'},
{id: 5, label: 'Node 5'}
]);
// create an array with edges
var edges = new vis.DataSet([
{from: 1, to: 3},
{from: 1, to: 2},
{from: 2, to: 4},
{from: 2, to: 5}
]);
// create a network
var container = document.getElementById('mynetwork');
// provide the data in the vis format
var data = {
nodes: nodes,
edges: edges
};
var options = {};
// initialize your network!
var network = new vis.Network(container, data, options);
&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;

so
the next
time you load the nodes, stabilization will be near instantaneous.
<br><br>
If the nodes are still moving and you're using dynamic smooth edges (which is on by default), you
can
use the option <code>stabilization.onlyDynamicEdges</code> in the <a href="physics.html">physics
module</a>
to improve initialization time.

Network supports data in the
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOT_language" target="_blank">DOT language</a>.
To use data in the DOT language, you can use the vis.network.convertDot converter to transform the DOT
language
into a vis.Network compatible nodes, edges and options objects. You can extend the options object with other
options if you'd like.
</p>
<p>
Example usage:
</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">
// provide data in the DOT language
var DOTstring = 'dinetwork {1 -> 1 -> 2; 2 -> 3; 2 -- 4; 2 -> 1 }';
var parsedData = vis.network.convertDot(DOTstring);
var data = {
nodes: parsedData.nodes,
edges: parsedData.edges
}
var options = parsedData.options;
// you can extend the options like a normal JSON variable:
options.nodes = {
color: 'red'
}
// create a network
var network = new vis.Network(container, data, options);
</pre>
</div>
<div id="gephiDiv" class=" hidden">
<p>
Network can import data straight from an exported json file from gephi. You can get the JSON exporter here:

An example exists showing how to get a JSON file into Vis: <a
href="../examples/network/30_importing_from_gephi.html">30_importing_from_gephi</a>.
</p>
<p>
Example usage:
</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">
// load the JSON file containing the Gephi network.
var gephiJSON = loadJSON("./data/WorldCup2014.json"); // code in example 30
// you can customize the result like with these options. These are explained below.
