Dammit... other visualization library that handles timelines.. this makes me to feel a bit useless.
I keep working some months in a JS library to create and visualize TimeLines : (old version) http://elgreco.digibis.com/en/musobjects/timeline.html?busq_...
Vis.js: A Visual Interaction System

Re: Vis.js: A Visual Interaction System
#32I love these network diagrams...but I've never seen anyone actually use them!
Graphs are a poor visual representation for a lot of data sets. In cases where they provide significant benefits (think maps, dependency structures, routing), graph layouts are hard problems.
Generic algorithms are great for large networks but computationally intensive. Small network diagrams with an explicit message often have to be manually curated to make sense.
That said, this is a great library, especially since it works so well in the browser. I'm looking forward to future development.

#33The animation (dragging, panning and zooming) is smooth, that's really good! Can one put html formatting into the graph nodes?

#34Really good!

#35I will direct my colleagues, who created this library, to this thread to answer your questions. You won't get much help from me, my expertise is C++ and robotics. :-)
It's nice to see that our policy of creating open-source software is starting to pay off. It's sometimes quite hard to gather interest from the wider internet population!

Thanks for pointing this out, great to see interest in the library.
I've been developing this library for a couple of years now, and since a couple of months working on it together with another colleague.
Guys feel free to share ideas and code to improve the library and make it even better, check it out on Github.

Hi, I'm the colleague josdejong mentioned and I've been maintaining and developing the Graph module. The module is currently in canvas so you cannot put HTML formatting in the nodes. There are a variety of shaped and formatting you can use to customize it though.

#38What are the supported browsers? Would be good if I could easily find that info somewhere on the site
Hi, we are targetting chrome, firefox, internet explorer, safari and mobile. There are some issues in andriod browser and safari has a slow javascript implementation. We try to make it fast and available on the bigger browsers.

It's great to see the interest in the libary! I'm currently working with josdejong to improve the vis.js library. I'll try to answer most questions here. If there's anything else, feel free to ask us on github!

Agreed. Or at least a description of what technologies are used (e.g. Canvas, SVG, VML, etc).
We currently use Canvas for the graph and HTML DOM for the timeline. As for browser support, see my post in reply to the post you replied to :).
