His ngraph has less features than cytoscape but if you need to plot large graphs it has a crazy good performance.
And his galaxies are amazing as well, https://anvaka.github.io/pm/#/?_k=9kvbgq . Precalculated positions for all NPM packages for example. Crazy stuff, really fun.
But yeah, cytoscape.js is nice and has great set of features.
Yes! I looked at a bunch graph visualization libraries in the past. Cytoscape did not impressed me. Anvaka's ngraph and VivaGraphJS seemed pretty closer to what I wanted.
Cryptoscape looks really awesome but i'm having trouble locating the source code of the demos like this one http://js.cytoscape.org/demos/images-breadthfirst-layout/ actually figured out how to open dev tools without a mouse and its simple too.
How hard is it to teach either of these libs about Clojure data structures? (Without copying them into plain js objects)
Cryptoscape - unclear how to use actual dom to style nodes, not just css classes (or if this is possible at all)
Love this library so much that I include it in my news letter[0] for code to read sections for JavaScript category
Some thing about this project:
- It has all kind of npm shortcut
- Minimal dependencies: only 2, other are for build time, not run time. It's too good that he opt to use `lodash.debounce` instead of whole `lodash`
- Pure JavaScript. TypeScript is nice but its generated code is such a beast
- Files are small(Many files are < 100 lines)
- Method are short
Some context would be nice as this (very nice library) has been around for a while: was there a new release? What are we supposed to be looking for Here?
I just felt like sharing it. I was foraging around Twitter for good links and found this. I honestly didn't know it was around for a while, but it stimulated my intellectual curiosity so I shared it.
I can't say enough good things about this library. The library is fast, the API is great, the features are awesome, and it is actively maintained. When I was evaluating the library for my use case, I submitted a PR for a small feature on their roadmap, and the maintainer had gotten back to me, made suggestions, and merged the PR in a matter of hours.
Shout out to Max Franz for being such a dedicated, responsive, and competent maintainer for such a cool project!
Gephi and Cytoscape (https://cytoscape.org/) are both open-source Java-based network analysis and visualization software.
Cytoscape.js is a graph theory and network visualization Javascript library. It can be compared to SigmaJS (http://sigmajs.org/) or the more generic D3 data visualization toolkit (https://d3js.org/).
Cytoscape.js is MUCH more capable than those, it can do client side network algorithms (A* etc) and traversal, Sigma & D3 are 'just' visualisation tools, where Gephi is an 'offline' tool
