vis-network VS d3-force

I'm currently using vis-network [1] as the graph display for a Fraud analysis UI. Cosmos looked really good when I checked it but as you very well mention it wasn't able to style vertices with different images/icons and not sure if it was able to style edges color and width. All of this is heavily used in my use case. Hopefully it gets these features as it matures

I'm not familiar with Animate by name. The viewer is pretty straight-forward given the underlying library (https://github.com/visjs/vis-network) if you come from a tech background. The trick is coming up with a maintainable way to manage the data structure for the network as it scales up. I wanted to type as little as possible to make additions :).

Here you parse the JSON response data and separate it into two lists, nodes and links. The forceSimulation() method is responsible for arranging our network and the positions of individual nodes. You can learn more about it here.

you need to use d3-force https://github.com/d3/d3-force

Layout and position the graph - done by the Simulator, which uses a d3-force library to simulate physical forces on particles. It supports the main thread simulation and offloaded simulation using WebWorkers for a performance boost.

That part was straightforward thanks to the "d3-force" plugin for D3.js:

I probably ought to spend a little more time tuning the parameters, though.

One good example would be something like this GitHub - d3/d3-force: Force-directed graph layout using velocity Verlet integration.

It's a pretty straightforward D3 force visualization, if you're familiar with that library. Here's a link: https://github.com/d3/d3-force

In support of referring to this layout as "force-directed", it's worth noting that's the language d3 uses: https://github.com/d3/d3-force

Try looking up force directed graphs. Here's a good d3 lib for that https://github.com/d3/d3-force
