cytoscape-dagre-multi
Description
Modified version of cytoscape.js-dagre to handle graphs with multiple connected components. This is a layout extension for Cytoscape.js.
The dagre
layout organises the graph using a DAG (directed acyclic graph) system, written by Chris Pettitt. It is especially suitable for DAGs and trees. For more information, please refer to its Dagre's documentation.
It has been modified from the previous layout to also group children into boxes and add a maximum width for the graph.
Dependencies
- Cytoscape.js ^3.2.0
- Dagre ^0.8.2
Usage instructions
Download the library:
- via npm:
npm install cytoscape-dagre-multi
, - via direct download in the repository (probably from a tag).
Import the library as appropriate for your project:
ES import:
;; cytoscape;
CommonJS require:
let cytoscape = ;let dagre = ; cytoscape; // register extension
AMD:
;
Plain HTML/JS has the extension registered for you automatically, because no require()
is needed.
API
Call the layout, e.g. cy.layout({ name: 'dagre', ... }).run()
, with options:
var defaults = // dagre algo options, uses default value on undefined nodeSep: undefined // the separation between adjacent nodes in the same rank edgeSep: undefined // the separation between adjacent edges in the same rank rankSep: undefined // the separation between adjacent nodes in the same rank rankDir: undefined // 'TB' for top to bottom flow, 'LR' for left to right, ranker: undefined // Type of algorithm to assign a rank to each node in the input graph. Possible values: 'network-simplex', 'tight-tree' or 'longest-path' { return 1; } // number of ranks to keep between the source and target of the edge { return 1; } // higher weight edges are generally made shorter and straighter than lower weight edges // general layout options fit: true // whether to fit to viewport padding: 30 // fit padding spacingFactor: undefined // Applies a multiplicative factor (>0) to expand or compress the overall area that the nodes take up nodeDimensionsIncludeLabels: false // whether labels should be included in determining the space used by a node animate: false // whether to transition the node positions { return true; } // whether to animate specific nodes when animation is on; non-animated nodes immediately go to their final positions animationDuration: 500 // duration of animation in ms if enabled animationEasing: undefined // easing of animation if enabled boundingBox: undefined // constrain layout bounds; { x1, y1, x2, y2 } or { x1, y1, w, h } { return pos; } // a function that applies a transform to the final node position {} // on layoutready {} // on layoutstop;
