are there any plans to incorporate centrality measure calculations in the library? #2375

Closed pgoldweic closed 7 years ago

pgoldweic commented 7 years ago

I'm a current vis.js user and would like to know if there are any plans for incorporating centrality calculations within the library. If not, is there a recommended way to go about computing these for an existing vis.js network graph? (e.g. recommended third party library to use in conjunction of vis.js, etc.). Thanks!

Finding the center of mass?

pgoldweic commented 7 years ago

Actually not, I was referring to the graph theory concepts of centrality (degree, betweenness, closeness, eigenvector, etc. -many such measures have been defined- for each node in a graph). It would be great to have them natively within vis.js (other javascript libraries include them; e.g. cytoscape).

I change this issue to a feature request. However, in my opinion it would be better to keep visjs as simple as possible and visualization oriented. Expensive calculations like centrality measures should be tackled on the server side and just being visualized on the client side.

Thanks for your comment, and for changing it to a feature request.
