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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The library is developed by

Vis.js contains of the following components:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<a href="dataset.html"><b>DataSet</b></a>.
|
|
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.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<a href="dataview.html"><b>DataView</b></a>.
|
|
A filtered and/or formatted view on a DataSet.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<a href="graph.html"><b>Graph</b></a>.
|
|
Display a graph or network with nodes and edges.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<a href="timeline.html"><b>Timeline</b></a>.
|
|
Display different types of data on a timeline. The timeline and the
|
|
items on the timeline can be interactively moved, zoomed, and
|
|
manipulated.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>

<p>
|
|
To use a component, include the javascript file of vis in your web page:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-html"><!DOCTYPE HTML>
|
|
<html>
|
|
<head>
|
|
<script src="components/vis/vis.js"></script>
|
|
</head>
|
|
<body>
|
|
<script type="text/javascript">
|
|
// ... load a visualization
|
|
</script>
|
|
</body>
|
|
</html>
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
or load vis.js using require.js:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">
|
|
require.config({
|
|
paths: {
|
|
vis: 'path/to/vis',
|
|
}
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
require(['vis'], function (math) {
|
|
// ... load a visualization
|
|
});
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
A timeline can be instantiated as follows. Other components can be
|
|
created in a similar way.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">
|
|
var timeline = new vis.Timeline(container, data, options);
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Where <code>container</code> is an HTML element, <code>data</code> is
|
|
an Array with data or a DataSet, and <code>options</code> is an optional
|
|
object with configuration options for the component.
|
|
</p>
