pixi-graph

Graph visualization library using PIXI.js and Graphology.

⚠️ The repository is archived as read-only. Feel free to continue in your own fork.

Developing a full-featured graph visualization library is a significant effort. I'd appreciate your feedback to prioritize new features by filling in a survey.

Demo

Screenshot

Install

npm install graphology pixi-graph

or

<script src="https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/dist/graphology.umd.js"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/dist/pixi-graph.umd.min.js"></script>

Usage

Basic

const graph = new graphology.Graph();
// populate Graphology graph with data
// assign layout positions as `x`, `y` node attributes

const pixiGraph = new PixiGraph.PixiGraph({
  container: document.getElementById('graph'),
  graph
});

Layouts

In its simplicity, a graph layout is a function nodes => positions. Therefore a layout from any other library can be used. Run the layout separately, and assign layout positions as x, y node attributes.

graphology-layout-forceatlas2 example:

const graph = new graphology.Graph();
// populate Graphology graph with data

graph.forEachNode(node => {
  graph.setNodeAttribute(node, 'x', Math.random());
  graph.setNodeAttribute(node, 'y', Math.random());
});
forceAtlas2.assign(graph, { iterations: 300, settings: { ...forceAtlas2.inferSettings(graph), scalingRatio: 80 }});

const pixiGraph = new PixiGraph.PixiGraph({ ..., graph });

Style

const style = {
  node: {
    color: '#000000',
  },
  edge: {
    color: '#000000',
  },
};

const pixiGraph = new PixiGraph.PixiGraph({ ..., style });

Colors

Colors are resolved with color-rgba. The following CSS colors strings are supported: named colors, hex, short-hand hex, RGB, RGBA, HSL, HSLA.

Webfonts

Preload fonts before creating PixiGraph with FontFaceObserver.

Material Icons example:

<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons" rel="stylesheet">
const style = {
  node: {
    icon: {
      content: 'person',
      fontFamily: 'Material Icons',
    },
  },
};

await new FontFaceObserver('Material Icons').load();

const pixiGraph = new PixiGraph.PixiGraph({ ..., style });

Bitmap fonts

Register bitmap fonts as resource-loader external resource.

const style = {
  node: {
    label: {
      content: node => node.id,
      type: PixiGraph.TextType.BITMAP_TEXT,
      fontFamily: 'HelveticaRegular',
    },
  },
};

const resources = [
  { name: 'HelveticaRegular', url: 'https://gist.githubusercontent.com/zakjan/b61c0a26d297edf0c09a066712680f37/raw/8cdda3c21ba3668c3dd022efac6d7f740c9f1e18/HelveticaRegular.fnt' },
];

const pixiGraph = new PixiGraph.PixiGraph({ ..., style, resources });

Hover style

Hover style values override style values when node/edge is hovered.

const style = {
  node: {
    color: '#000000',
  },
  edge: {
    color: '#000000',
  },
};
const hoverStyle = {
  node: {
    color: '#ff0000',
  },
  edge: {
    color: '#ff0000',
  },
};

const pixiGraph = new PixiGraph.PixiGraph({ ..., style, hoverStyle });

API

export interface GraphOptions<NodeAttributes extends BaseNodeAttributes = BaseNodeAttributes, EdgeAttributes extends BaseEdgeAttributes = BaseEdgeAttributes> {
  container: HTMLElement;
  graph: AbstractGraph<NodeAttributes, EdgeAttributes>;
  style: GraphStyleDefinition<NodeAttributes, EdgeAttributes>;
  hoverStyle: GraphStyleDefinition<NodeAttributes, EdgeAttributes>;
  resources?: IAddOptions[];
  nodeDragging?: boolean;
}

export class PixiGraph<NodeAttributes extends BaseNodeAttributes = BaseNodeAttributes, EdgeAttributes extends BaseEdgeAttributes = BaseEdgeAttributes> {
  constructor(options: GraphOptions<NodeAttributes, EdgeAttributes>);
}
  • container - HTML element to use as a container
  • graph - Graphology graph
  • style - style definition
  • hoverStyle - additional style definition for hover state
    • ⚠️ subject to change with the implementation of other states
  • resources - resource-loader external resource definitions
    • resources are passed to loader.add function
    • currently used only for external bitmap fonts
  • nodeDragging - Determines whether nodes can be dragged. It's enabled by default.

Style definition

GraphStyle interface represents a resolved style, all values are mandatory.

GraphStyleDefinition interface allows functions or missing values at any key. Functions are resolved, missing values fall back to a previous definition, or default values.

export interface GraphStyle {
  node: {
    size: number;
    color: string;
    border: {
      width: number;
      color: string;
    };
    icon: {
      content: string;
      type: TextType;
      fontFamily: string;
      fontSize: number;
      color: string;
    };
    label: {
      content: string;
      type: TextType;
      fontFamily: string;
      fontSize: number;
      color: string;
      backgroundColor: string;
      padding: number;
    };
  };
  edge: {
    width: number;
    color: string;
  };
}

export type NodeStyle = GraphStyle['node'];
export type EdgeStyle = GraphStyle['edge'];

export type StyleDefinition<Style, Attributes> =
  ((attributes: Attributes) => Style) |
  {[Key in keyof Style]?: StyleDefinition<Style[Key], Attributes>} |
  Style;

export interface GraphStyleDefinition<NodeAttributes extends BaseNodeAttributes = BaseNodeAttributes, EdgeAttributes extends BaseEdgeAttributes = BaseEdgeAttributes> {
  node?: StyleDefinition<NodeStyle, NodeAttributes>;
  edge?: StyleDefinition<EdgeStyle, EdgeAttributes>;
}

This allows either static styles, or data-driven styles at any style definition level. Each function is resolved only once.

const style = {
  node: {
    color: '#000000',
  },
};

or

const style = {
  node: {
    color: node => colors[node.group % colors.length],
  },
};

or

const style = {
  node: node => {
    const color = colors[node.group % colors.length];
    return { color };
  },
};

Events

Node events:

  • nodeClick
  • nodeMousemove
  • nodeMouseover
  • nodeMouseout
  • nodeMousedown
  • nodeMouseup
pixiGraph.on('nodeClick', (event, nodeKey) => ...);

Edge events:

  • edgeClick

  • edgeMouseup
pixiGraph.on('edgeClick', (event, edgeKey) => ...);
