G6: A Graph Visualization Framework in TypeScript
Introduction •
Examples •
Quick Start •
API
G6 is a graph visualization engine. It provides basic capabilities for graph visualization and analysis such as drawing, layout, analysis, interaction, animation, themes, and plugins. With G6, users can quickly build their own graph visualization and analysis applications, making relational data simple, transparent, and meaningful.
✨ Features
G6, as a professional graph visualization engine, boasts the following features:
- Rich Elements: It comes with a variety of built-in node, edge, and Combo UI elements with extensive style configurations, supports data callbacks, and has a flexible mechanism for extending custom elements.
- Controllable Interactions: It includes more than 10 built-in interaction behaviors and offers a rich array of events, facilitating the expansion of custom interactive behaviors.
- High-Performance Layout: The engine features more than 10 common graph layouts, some of which leverage GPU and Rust parallel computing for enhanced performance, and it supports custom layout development.
- Convenient Plugins: Optimized built-in plugin functionality and performance, with flexible extensibility, making it easier to implement customized business capabilities.
- Multiple Theme and Palettes: Provides two sets of built-in themes, light and dark, that integrate over 20 popular community color palettes based on the AntV new color scheme.
- Multi-Environment Rendering: Harnessing the power of G, it supports rendering in Canvas, SVG, and WebGL, as well as server-side rendering with Node.js; it also offers plugin packages that provide powerful 3D rendering and spatial interactions based on WebGL.
- React Ecosystem: By utilizing the React front-end ecosystem, it supports React nodes, significantly enriching the presentational styles of G6 nodes.
🔨 Getting Started
G6 is usually installed via a package manager such as npm or Yarn.
$ npm install @antv/g6
The Graph object then can be imported from G6.
<div id="container"></div>
import { Graph } from '@antv/g6';
// Get the Data.
const data = {
nodes: [
/* your nodes data */
],
edges: [
/* your edges data */
],
};
// Create the Graph instance.
const graph = new Graph({
container: 'container',
data,
node: {
palette: {
type: 'group',
field: 'cluster',
},
},
layout: {
type: 'force',
},
behaviors: ['drag-canvas', 'drag-node'],
});
// Render the Graph.
graph.render();
All goes well, you can get the following lovely graph!
