mplexviz-ngraph

NPM version

A visualisation module for multilayer networks as modelled by mplexnet using ngraph.three.

Getting Started

This is a visualisation module for multilayer network data.

Beware:

This project is still under active development and should only be used experimentally for now. Expect a more mature version in the next few months. If you have suggestions and feature requests, feel free to contact me.

You can install the module with: npm install mplexviz-ngraph

To test it, try something like this:

var Viz = require('mplexviz-ngraph');

var data = 'source,l1,l2,target,l1,l2\n1,A,X,2,A,X\n1,A,X,1,B,X\n1,A,X,4,B,X\n1,B,X,1,B,Y\n1,B,X,3,B,X\n\
           1,B,X,4,B,X\n3,B,X,4,B,X\n4,B,X,3,A,Y\n3,A,Y,3,A,X\n3,A,Y,2,A,Y';
           
var instance = new Viz({
    el: rootDiv,
    data: data
});

instance.render();

Specifying options

You can specify some options for the mplexnet module. It is mostly setting options for the data input.

/*
 * These are the default options for a network
 *
 *   Log levels:
 *       1: Errors and important info
 *       2: More info
 *       3: Detail debug messages incl. data
 */
var options = {
    inputFiles: 'csv',
    inputFileDelimiter: ',',
    sourceFieldLabel: 'source',
    targetFieldLabel: 'target',
    loglevel: 0
};

var instance = new Viz({
    el: rootDiv,
    data: data,
    options: options
});

instance.render();

Input format

There will be more detailed description of the input format soon. This maybe subject to change

For now, there are two possible ways to pass data:

  • A single csv data object of edges between node-layer objects (recommended)
source,l1,l2,target,l1,l2
1,A,X,2,A,X
1,A,X,1,B,X
1,A,X,4,B,X
1,B,X,1,B,Y
1,B,X,3,B,X
1,B,X,4,B,X
3,B,X,4,B,X
4,B,X,3,A,Y
3,A,Y,3,A,X
3,A,Y,2,A,Y
  • Three separate files/objects
    • A list of aspects
    Time
    
    • A list of node-layer objects with a unique id
    id,Time,name
    1,now,1
    2,now,2
    3,now,3
    4,now,4
    5,then,1
    6,then,2
    7,then,3
    8,then,4
    
    • A list of edges between these ids
    source, target
       1, 4
       2, 3
       2, 4
       1, 5
       2, 6
       3, 8
       4, 8
       5, 6
       5, 7
       6, 7
