When choosing a graph visualization solution, you need one that you can customize for your users, your data and the questions you need to answer. A custom-designed interface feels familiar and intuitive, and helps your users start uncovering insight sooner.
Here are just some of the visual styling options available in our products.
Custom styles for your visualization
Nodes – These usually represent the main entities in your data. With our toolkits, you can adjust almost every attribute of a node.
Links – These are the connections between your data entities. Use attributes like weight, color and style to communicate different kinds and strengths of connection.
Halos – These are ‘halo-effect’ rings that draw attention to nodes. They’re a great way to highlight key events, alerts or warnings. A node can have up to ten halos, each with a customized radius, width, and color. They’re also very simple to animate.
Glyphs – These small icons communicate interesting characteristics of a node or link. You can add as many glyphs as you like, define their position, alignment, color or icon, and animate them for greater impact.
Labels – Node and link labels are the most obvious way to identify different elements in your chart and adapt to changing positions in-line with your chart elements. Customize them with different font sizes and colors, control their position and truncate them.
Charts – Customize the entire chart to meet the requirements of your application – the background color, watermark text or image, chart logo and navigation controls can all be modified.
Donuts – These are a great way to convey numeric proportions of data quickly. Select how many segments you want, their size and color, then get creative with animation.
Self-links – If you’re analyzing an IT network or cyber threat, it’s not unusual to find nodes that send network traffic to themselves. Self-links reflect this neatly.
Fine-grained control – Take control of other visual attributes, from arrow-head size, to label height, to link behavior when it approaches a node.
Selection – Adjust the effect used to highlight selected entities, and define the behavior around selected nodes and links.
Custom user experience
Design and build the best experience for your users with interactions customized to their workflows, revealing insight faster.
Snap to grid or snap to circle – These maintain precise alignment even when you move the nodes around. Create the right snap behaviour even as the node moves position.
Annotations – Use annotations to display relevant and specific information. Annotations follow the position of a node as you move it around so your charts don’t lose context.
Drag behavior – Easily control which elements of a chart you want to drag without ruining the overall display. These are great for maintaining the relative order of nodes especially in a sequential layout.
Touch devices – Draw and manipulate nodes and links by hand using touch devices, track-pads and keyboard interactions.
