Graphs Tutorial

The graph module is used to visualize simple graphs in the form of a node-link diagram. Both directed and undirected graphs are supported. The Reingold-Tilford “Tidy” layout for drawing trees is also supported.

To create a graph, first create an interactive object (link). Then create a graph object as shown below. When doing so, you will specify whether or not it is a directed edge.

let graph = interactive.graph({directed:true});

When creating a node, you can specify position, label, x radius and y radius of the node, which is shown as an ellipse. Label and both radii parameters are optional.

let node = graph.addNode(xPosition, yPosition, label, xRadius, yRadius);
let leaf = graph.addNode(xPosition, yPosition, label, xRadius, yRadius);

When creating an edge, if you are working with an undirected graph, the order of the nodes passed into the constructor does not matter. If it is a directed graph, the edge is created in the order from, to.

let edge = graph.addEdge(nodeFrom, nodeTo);
