Cytoscape.js VS sigma.js

This could be probably done with https://js.cytoscape.org/ as well, so maybe look into that.

Maybe look into Cytoscape.js... There's a react wrapper component: https://github.com/plotly/react-cytoscapejs

The UI is almost entirely based on Cytoscape JS, which is one of the most use graph libraries out there (and for good reason, I've found it very good). The UI is similar to some other JavaScript libraries that deal with visualisation of network models, so it ends up being similar to most examples of Neo4j dashboards, D3, etc.

Relationship graphs are created using Cytoscape.js

I am playing with an app built around cytoscape.js for visualizing graphs. That means adding/removing nodes, responding to node events and so on.

Data source: DB of tutorials and tags. I created the skills map of collective knowledge shows a number of tutorials uploaded by users. It is illustrated the topics of user-generated content. Size of stars is a number of tutorials on the topic. The bigger the star — the more popular skill. The more connection a skill has — the more essential and versatile it is. After the login, this map becomes personalized for every user in accordance with the uploaded tutorials. All skills are combined into 6 specializations (science, sign, people, tech, art, business). Some topics are repeated in several specializations, for instance, "soft skills." Tool: Cytograph.js Layout: Cise layout Interactive version is here https://unschooler.me/skills

> Yeah, I know there's D3.js but that involved way more knowledge and learning than I was interested in.

Same, d3 looked very powerful but had a steep learning curve. I was looking for something simple to generate process trees in real time and ended up using cytoscape js [0], helped me have a working POC in an hour, highly recommended.

Sigma.js Sigma.js on Github Graphology on Github

Well, MathML[1] support is (nearly) everywhere now, and as the docs say:

MathML Core is a subset with increased implementation details based on rules from LaTeX and the Open Font Format. It is tailored for browsers and designed specifically to work well with other web standards including HTML, CSS, DOM, JavaScript.

I don't have a lot of experience working with this stuff (yet) but if you can script your MathML objects with Javascript, you should be able to make whatever interactive "stuff" you want in terms of math notation. Now drawing objects and plots and stuff is a different question.

There's stuff like Plotly[2], D3[3], Sigma[4], etc. that might be useful depending on exactly what effects you're going for.

If you're just using d3 for a network viz, consider using sigma.js

More about Sigma.js you can read here or here

sigma.js: graph viz library

this one's on my todo list to check out: https://www.sigmajs.org/

You can try sigma.js

Different node shapes (like circle / square) are definitely supported. See this documentation.
