Multilayerlayout3d

A multilayer layout for ngraph.three

This is a custom layout for the great ngraph project, more specifically for ngraph.three. It is heavily based on ngraph.forcelayout and ngraph.forcelayout3d

It is used in my multilayer network visualisation module mplexviz-ngraph. Every layer of the graph is calculated separately as a 2d force-directed graph.

Getting Started

Install the module with: npm install multilayerlayout3d

Initialize ngraph.three with this layout:

var mplexLayout = require('multilayerlayout3d');
/*
    Initialize ngraph.three
 */
var graphics = nthree(this.graph, {
    container: document.body,
    layout: mplexLayout(this.graph, physicsSettings)
});

Compare to ngraph.three

You can also specify the distance between layers in the options, passed as an additional input value/

 
/*
    Set options
*/
var options = {
    interLayerDistance: 100
};
 
/*
    Initialize ngraph.three
 */
var graphics = nthree(this.graph, {
    container: document.body,
    layout: mplexLayout(this.graph, physicsSettings, options)
});
