Graph visualization library in JavaScript (转)

Graph visualization library in JavaScript

I've just put together what you may be looking for: http://www.graphdracula.net
It's JavaScript with directed graph layouting, SVG and you can even drag the nodes around. Still needs some tweaking, but is totally usable. You create nodes and edges easily with JavaScript code like this:

var g = new Graph();
g.addEdge("strawberry", "cherry");
g.addEdge("cherry", "apple");
g.addEdge("id34", "cherry");

I used the previously mentioned Raphael JS library (the graffle example) plus some code for a force based graph layout algorithm I found on the net (everything open source, MIT license). If you have any remarks or need a certain feature, I may implement
it, just ask!

You may want to have a look at other projects, too! Below are two meta-comparisons:

SocialCompare has an extensive list of libraries, and the "Node / edge graph" line will filter for graph visualization ones.

DataVisualization.ch has evaluated many libraries, including node/graph ones. Unfortunately there's no direct link so you'll have to filter for "graph":



Here's a list of similar projects (some have been already mentioned here):

Pure JavaScript Libraries

vis.js supports many types of network/edge graphs, plus timelines and 2D/3D charts. Auto-layout, auto-clustering, springy physics engine, mobile-friendly, keyboard navigation, hierarchical layout, animation
etc. MIT licensed and developed by a Dutch firm specializing in research on self-organizing networks.

Cytoscape.js - interactive graph analysis and visualization with mobile support, following jQuery conventions. Funded via NIH grants and developed by by
@maxkfranz (see
his answer below) with help from several universities and other organizations.

The JavaScript InfoVis Toolkit - Jit, an interactive, multi-purpose graph drawing and layout framework. See for example the

Hyperbolic Tree. Built by Twitter dataviz architect
Nicolas Garcia Belmonte and
bought by Sencha in 2010.

D3.js Powerful multi-purpose JS visualization library, the successor of Protovis. See the
force-directed graph example, and other graph examples in the
gallery.

sigma.js Lightweight but powerful library for drawing graphs

jsPlumb jQuery plug-in for creating interactive connected graphs

Springy - a force-directed graph layout algorithm

Processing.js Javascript port of the Processing library by John Resig

JS Graph It - drag'n'drop boxes connected by straight lines. Minimal auto-layout of the lines.

RaphaelJS's Graffle - interactive graph example of a generic multi-purpose vector drawing library. RaphaelJS can't layout nodes automatically; you'll need another library for that.

JointJS Core - David Durman's MPL-licensed open source diagramming library. It can be used to create either static diagrams or fully interactive diagramming tools and application builders. Works
in browsers supporting SVG. Layout algorithms not-included in the core package
