<h1>Graph documentation</h1>
|

|
|
<h2 id="Overview">Overview</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Graph is a visualization to display graphs and networks consisting of nodes
|
|
and edges. The visualization is easy to use and supports custom shapes,
|
|
styles, colors, sizes, images, and more.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The graph visualization works smooth on any modern browser for up to a
|
|
few hundred nodes and edges.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
To get started with Graph, install or download the
|
|
<a href="http://visjs.org" target="_blank">vis.js</a> library.

|

<p>
|
|
Install or download the <a href="http://visjs.org" target="_blank">vis.js</a> library.
|
|
in a subfolder of your project. Include the library script in the head of your html code:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-html">
|
|
<script type="text/javascript" src="vis/dist/vis.js"></script>
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
The constructor of the Graph is <code>vis.Graph</code>.
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">var graph = new vis.Graph(container, data, options);</pre>
|
|
|
|
The constructor accepts three parameters:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<code>container</code> is the DOM element in which to create the graph.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<code>data</code> is an Object containing properties <code>nodes</code> and
|
|
<code>edges</code>, which both contain an array with objects.
|
|
Optionally, data may contain an <code>options</code> object.
|
|
The parameter <code>data</code> is optional, data can also be set using
|
|
the method <code>setData</code>. Section <a href="#Data_Format">Data Format</a>
|
|
describes the data object.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<code>options</code> is an optional Object containing a name-value map
|
|
with options. Options can also be set using the method
|
|
<code>setOptions</code>.
|
|
Section <a href="#Configuration_Options">Configuration Options</a>
|
|
describes the available options.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="Data_format">Data format</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <code>data</code> parameter of the Graph constructor is an object
|
|
which can contain different types of data.
|
|
The following properties are supported in the <code>data</code> object:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<span style="font-weight: bold;">A property pair <code>nodes</code> and <code>edges</code></span>,
|
|
both containing an Array with objects. The data formats are described
|
|
in the sections <a href="#Nodes">Nodes</a> and <a href="#Edges">Edges</a>.
|
|
Example:
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">
|
|
var data = {
|
|
nodes: [...],
|
|
edges: [...]
|
|
};
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<span style="font-weight: bold;">A property <code>dot</code></span>,
|
|
containing a string with data in the
|
|
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOT_language" target="_blank">DOT language</a>.
|
|
DOT support is described in section <a href="#DOT_language">DOT_language</a>.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">
|
|
var data = {
|
|
dot: '...'
|
|
};
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<span style="font-weight: bold;">A property <code>options</code></span>,
|
|
containing an object with global options.
|
|
Options can be provided as third parameter in the graph constructor
|
|
as well. Section <a href="#Configuration_Options">Configuration Options</a>
|
|
describes the available options.
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>

<h3 id="Nodes">Nodes</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Nodes typically have an <code>id</code> and <code>label</code>.
|
|
A node must contain at least a property <code>id</code>.
|
|
Nodes can have extra properties, used to define the shape and style of the
|
|
nodes.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
A JavaScript Array with nodes is constructed like:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">
|
|
var nodes = [
|
|
{
|
|
id: 1,

label: 'Node 1'

},
|
|
// ... more nodes
|
|
];
|
|
</pre>
|

Nodes support the following properties:

Edges are connections between nodes.

The physics system has been overhauled to increase performance. The original simulation method was based on particel physics with a repulsion field (potential) around each node,
|
|
and the edges were modelled as springs. The new system employed the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barnes%E2%80%93Hut_simulation">Barnes-Hut</a> gravitational simulation model. The edges are still modelled as springs.
|
|
To unify the physics system, the damping, repulsion distance and edge length have been combined in an physics option. To retain good behaviour, both the old repulsion model and the Barnes-Hut model have their own parameters.
|
|
If no options for the physics system are supplied, the Barnes-Hut method will be used with the default parameters.

<h3 id="Data_manipulation">Data manipulation</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
By using the data manipulation feature of the graph you can dynamically create nodes, connect nodes with edges, edit nodes or delete nodes and edges.
|
|
The toolbar is fully HTML and CSS so the user can style this to their preference. To control the behaviour of the data manipulation, users can insert custom functions
|
|
into the data manipulation process. For example, an injected function can show an detailed pop-up when a user wants to add a node. In <a href="../examples/graph/21_data_manipulation.html">example 21</a>,
|
|
two functions have been injected into the add and edit functionality. This is described in more detail in the next subsection.

<h4 id="Data_manipulation_custom">Data manipulation: custom functionality</h4>
|

<p>
|
|
Users can insert custom functions into the add node, edit node, connect nodes, and delete selected operations. This is done by supplying them in the options.
|
|
If the callback is NOT called, nothing happens. <a href="../examples/graph/21_data_manipulation.html">Example 21</a> has two working examples
|
|
for the add and edit functions. The data the user is supplied with in these functions has been described in the code below.
|
|
For the add data, you can add any and all options that are accepted for node creation as described above. The same goes for edit, however only the fields described
|
|
in the code below contain information on the selected node. The callback for connect accepts any options that are used for edge creation. Only the callback for delete selected
|
|
requires the same data structure that is supplied to the user. <br /><br />

Because the interface elements are CSS and HTML, the user will have to correct for size changes of the canvas. To facilitate this, a new event has been added called frameResize.
|
|
A function can be bound to this event. This function is supplied with the new widht and height of the canvas. The CSS can then be updated accordingly.
|
|
An code snippet from example 21 is shown below.
|
|

<h3 id="Clustering">Clustering</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The graph now supports dynamic clustering of nodes. This allows a user to view a very large dataset (> 50.000 nodes) without
|
|
sacrificing performance. When loading a large dataset, the nodes are clustered initially (this may take a small while) to have a
|
|
responsive visualization to work with. The clustering is both outside-in and inside-out. Outside-in means that nodes with only one
|
|
connection will be contained, or clustered, in the node it is connected to. Inside-out clustering first determines which nodes are hubs.
|
|
Hubs are defined as the nodes with the top 3% highest amount of connections (assuming normal distribution). These hubs then "grow", meaning
|
|
they contain the nodes they are connected to within themselves. The edges that were connected to the nodes that are absorbed will be reconnected to the cluster.
|
|
<br />
|
|
<br />
|
|
A cluster is just a node that has references to the nodes and edges it contains. It has an internal counter to keep track of its size, which is then used
|
|
to calculate the required forces. The contained nodes are removed from the global nodes index, greatly speeding up the system.
|
|
<br />
|
|
<br />
|
|
The clustering has the following user-configurable settings. The default values have been tested with the Graph examples and work well.
|
|
The default state for clustering is <b>off</b>.
