feat (edges): use colors and legend instead of labels

gesinn-it-gea commented 4 weeks ago

Is there already an option to use colors and a legend for edges instead of labels? This would make the diagrams much clearer.

you should be able to use the following https://visjs.github.io/vis-network/docs/network/edges.html in the edges key of graphOptions

I already looked at the options but I don't see something out-of-the-box. I think this requires some logic in the extension code and the rendering part.

Something like this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="https://unpkg.com/vis-network/standalone/umd/vis-network.min.js"></script>
  <style type="text/css">
    #mynetwork {
      width: 600px;
      height: 400px;
      border: 1px solid lightgray;
      float: left;
    }
    #legend {
      margin-left: 20px;
      float: left;
    }
    .legend-item {
      margin-bottom: 10px;
    }
    .legend-color {
      width: 20px;
      height: 20px;
      display: inline-block;
      margin-right: 10px;
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>

<div id="mynetwork"></div>
<div id="legend"></div>

<script type="text/javascript">
  // create an array with nodes
  var nodes = new vis.DataSet([
    {id: 1, label: 'Node 1'},
    {id: 2, label: 'Node 2'},
    {id: 3, label: 'Node 3'},
  ]);

  // Create an array with edges and assign colors
  var edgeColors = ["#ff0000", "#00ff00", "#0000ff"];
  var edges = new vis.DataSet([
    {from: 1, to: 2, color: edgeColors[0], label: "Edge 1-2"}, // Red edge
    {from: 2, to: 3, color: edgeColors[1], label: "Edge 2-3"}, // Green edge
    {from: 3, to: 1, color: edgeColors[2], label: "Edge 3-1"}, // Blue edge
  ]);

  // create a network
  var container = document.getElementById('mynetwork');
  var data = {
    nodes: nodes,
    edges: edges.map(function(edge, index) {
      return {
        from: edge.from,
        to: edge.to,
        color: {color: edgeColors[index]}, // Assign the color
        label: "", // Hide the label on the edge
      };
    })
  };
  var options = {};
  var network = new vis.Network(container, data, options);

  // Create the legend
  var legendContainer = document.getElementById('legend');
  edges.forEach(function(edge, index) {
    var legendItem = document.createElement('div');
    legendItem.className = 'legend-item';
    legendItem.innerHTML = '<span class="legend-color" style="background-color:' + edgeColors[index] + '"></span>' + edge.label;
    legendContainer.appendChild(legendItem);
  });
</script>

</body>
</html>

@gesinn-it-gea I'm sorry for delay, here https://test.knowledge.wiki/SemanticGraph I've set the edge font color and strokeColor to transparent from here https://test.knowledge.wiki/MediaWiki:KnowledgeGraphOptions then you should be able to set specific background color for each property using the parameter property-options?[property label] and creating a javascript file in the MediaWiki namespace as shown here https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:KnowledgeGraph#Graph_options for each of them
