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.
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.
Load
To use a component, include the javascript and css files of vis in your web page:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<script src="components/vis/dist/vis.js"></script>
<link href="components/vis/dist/vis.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
// ... load a visualization
</script>
</body>
</html>
or load vis.js using require.js. Note that vis.css must be loaded too.
require.config({
paths: {
vis: 'path/to/vis',
}
});
require(['vis'], function (math) {
// ... load a visualization
});
A timeline can be instantiated as:
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 of the project.
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<title>Timeline basic demo</title>
<script src="vis/dist/vis.js"></script>
<link href="vis/dist/vis.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<style type="text/css">
body, html {
font-family: sans-serif;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="visualization"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var container = document.getElementById('visualization');
var data = [
{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'}
];
var options = {};
var timeline = new vis.Timeline(container, data, options);
</script>
</body>
</html>
Build
To build the library from source, clone the project from github
git clone git://github.com/almende/vis.git
The project uses jake as build tool. The build script uses Browserify to bundle the source code into a library, and uses UglifyJS to minify the code. The source code uses the module style of node (require and module.exports) to organize dependencies.
To install all dependencies and build the library, run npm install in the
root of the project.
cd vis
npm install
Then, the project can be build running:
npm run build
Test
To test the library, install the project dependencies once:
npm install
Then run the tests:
npm test
