Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

====================================

Graph theory (a.k.a. network) library for analysis and visualisation

Visit our webpage to see the detailed docs and examples.

Description

ccNetViz is a lightweight, high performance javascript library for large network graphs (see graph theory) visualization using WebGL. It enables custom styling of nodes and edges in css like way, curve edges, dynamic changes of the network, a number of layout settings (including force-directed, spectral, hierarchical, circular, versinus, grid and random) and basic graph interactivity. Used for example by Cell Collective project. ccNetViz is open source library available under GPLv3 License.

Basic Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>ccNetViz example</title>
    <style type="text/css">
      #container {
        width: 500px;
        height: 500px;
      }
    </style>
    <script src="lib/ccNetViz.js"></script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <canvas id="container" />
    <script>
      var graph = new ccNetViz(document.getElementById('container'), {
        styles: {
          node: { texture: 'images/node.png', label: { hideSize: 16 } },
          edge: { arrow: { texture: 'images/arrow.png' } },
        },
      });
      var nodes = [{ label: 'Hello' }, { label: 'World' }, { label: '!' }];
      var edges = [
        { source: nodes[0], target: nodes[1] },
        { source: nodes[1], target: nodes[2] },
        { source: nodes[2], target: nodes[1] },
      ];
      graph.set(nodes, edges, 'force').then(() => {
        graph.draw();
      });
    </script>
  </body>
</html>

In-built support for the multiple layouts

Recommended layout is Force based.

Inbuilt support for multiple layouts such as the Force, Hierarchical, Circular, Spectral, Hive, Grid, Versinus.

Inbuilt support for two modifications of Tree layout.

If you want to use one of our in-built layout ( see the https://github.com/HelikarLab/ccNetViz/tree/master/src/layout for list of all available ones ), pass it as second parameter into the set function such as:

graph.set(nodes, edges, 'force'); //set the force layout

}

There are three predefined styles:

  • node: default style used for all nodes
  • edge: default style used for all edges
  • background: default style used for canvas background

All default property values of these styles can be overriden (as in example above).

Besides overriding default styles (used for all nodes / edges) it is possible to define custom styles (like "nodeBlue" etc. in example above) and then use this style just for specified subsets of nodes / edges (see bellow how to define style for given node / edge). Property values specified for given custom style override default style values.

All of our texts are rendered with as a Signed Distance Field fonts which make them high qualty with keeping the performance high.

set(nodes, edges, layout, layout_options = {})

Sets the data to be displayed by given ccNetViz instance. "nodes" argument is an array of objects describing graph nodes. Each node can have following properties:

  • label (optional): text label for given node (displayed if node labels are enabled by node label style)
  • x, y (optional): predefined position for given node (if "layout" argument is not specified these positions will be used for graph layout)
  • color (optional): ccNetViz.color object defining color for this given node (use this in case of coloring each node separately, for coloring groups of nodes use color property of node style)
  • style (optional): name of custom style class used for this node (for example: "nodeBlue" see above section for how to define custom styles)

"edges" argument is an array of objects describing directed graph edges. Each edge has following properties:

  • source: pointer to given source node object
  • target: pointer to given target node object
  • style (optional): name of custom style class used for this edge

Optional "layout" argument defines layout used to render this graph. Possible values: circular", "force", "grid", "hierarchical", "hierarchical2", "hive", "random", "spectral", "spectral2", "tree", "treeT", "versinus". If not specified, positions are taken from each node x, y properties.

Special layout options, such as margin and flip, are routed through the layout_options argument. See Advanced circular layout for an example of further layout options.

find(x, y, radius, nodes, edges)

findArea(x1, y1, x2, y2, nodes, edges)

draw()

Renders current data.

resize()

Adjust graph for current canvas size.

resetView()

Reset zoom and panning.

setViewport(viewport)

Set graph viewport.

"viewport" argument is an object with keys to modify (all of keys are optional)

{
  "x": 0.123,	//x offset of viewport (number in range 0-1), optional
  "y": 0.326,	//y offset of viewport (number in range 0-1), optional
  "size": 0.98,	//size value of viewport (number in range 0-1) - the amount of original screen that is visible, optional
}

cntShownNodes()

Get number of nodes

cntShownEdges()

Get number of edges

remove()

Clear graph and remove internal events from DOM.

nodes

Property to access nodes data of given graph. Use this just to read current values, for modification use "set" method instead.

edges

Property to access edges data of given graph. Use this just to read current values, for modification use "set" method instead.

Plugin's Documentation

Development in ccNetViz

Please follow the below instructions to get started with development in ccNetViz:

You need to have Node and yarn .

  1. Clone the repository.
  2. Run yarn install inside the cloned repository to install dependencies.
  3. Run yarn dev and go to http://localhost:8080. From here go to any of the examples or tests.
  4. Making any changes to the src/ directory will trigger an auto reload and build of the webpage.
  5. Finally when you are done with the changes run yarn build to create the final build.

Note: if your having any problem with seeing changes, clear the browser cache.

Contributing

If you are looking to contribute to ccNetViz, fork the ccNetViz repo, follow all the above steps (i.e. Development in ccNetViz), commit the changes(ccNetViz follows the conventional commits specification, please adhere to this format of commits in your Pull Requests) to your fork and make a pull request to ccNetViz.

Developing new layouts

We recommend adding new/other layouts to src/layouts/ directory and allowing its usage by routing in src/layouts/layouts.js like implemented to the builtin layouts.

See the wiki pages for more information on the layouts implemented and that are possible.
