cytoscape-even-parent

Description

cytoscape tree layout extension to place children of a node evenly underneath it's parent (demo)

| Tree | | ------ | | |

| With the smart option set to true | | ------ | | |

Dependencies

• Cytoscape.js ^3.2.0

Usage instructions

Download the library:

• via npm: npm install cytoscape-even-parent,
• via bower: bower install cytoscape-even-parent, or
• via direct download in the repository (probably from a tag).

Import the library as appropriate for your project:

ES import:

import cytoscape from 'cytoscape';
import evenParent from 'cytoscape-even-parent';

cytoscape.use( evenParent );

CommonJS require:

let cytoscape = require('cytoscape');
let evenParent = require('cytoscape-even-parent');

cytoscape.use( evenParent ); // register extension

AMD:

require(['cytoscape', 'cytoscape-even-parent'], function( cytoscape, evenParent ){
  evenParent( cytoscape ); // register extension
});

Plain HTML/JS has the extension registered for you automatically, because no require() is needed.

API

Add the layout on creation of the cytoscape instance. A few options are available.

... instanciation of cytoscape ...
    layout: {
        name: 'evenParent',
        childrenSize: 1,          // 1 to ~  ::: Proportion of children/parent
        horizontalPadding: 1000,  // 0 to ~  ::: Horizontal padding between nodes
        verticalPadding: 2000,    // 0 to ~  ::: Vertical padding between nodes
        fontSize: 1000,           // 0 to ~  ::: Size of font
        edgeSize: 200,            // 0 to ~  ::: Size of edge
        horizontalSpread: false,  // boolean ::: Spread the graph horizontally if true
        smart: false              // boolean ::: If true, displays children in rows to get maximum node width
    },
...

Build targets

• npm run test : Run Mocha tests in ./test
• npm run build : Build ./src/** into cytoscape-even-parent.js
• npm run watch : Automatically build on changes with live reloading (N.b. you must already have an HTTP server running)
• npm run dev : Automatically build on changes with live reloading with webpack dev server
• npm run lint : Run eslint on the source

N.b. all builds use babel, so modern ES features can be used in the src.
