<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>Modules</h3>

can
define the duration (in milliseconds) and easing function manually. Available are:
