Vis network giving backward direction edges in new vis versions 4.20 and 4.21

[jhabap18]

I have an vis example in vis 4.9 and vis 4.21 . In vis 4.9 it is drawing nodes in a way where edges are in forward direction but in 4.21 behavior is changed now. We have now backward direction edges also. User may want to see the network where edge direction is always forward for cleaner visualization.

Vis 4.21

Please suggest workaround in 4.20/4.21 to achieve this.

With vis 4.9 http://jsfiddle.net/prashantjhaba/sdfhcm6r/1/

with vis 4.21 https://jsfiddle.net/prashantjhaba/348nuste/

In your second example, you have an edge: {"from":"N-1897344219","to":"N1369236262","id":"N-1897344219|N1369236262"},

If you want all edges to point "forward", then can't you just swap the from and to?

Hi, I want all edges to be forward but can't swap 'from' and 'to' of any edge. My data is coming like this only. Any other workaround please? Is there a major algorithm change in newer version because of which it's giving backward edges?

Try changing these in your hierarchical options:

"direction":"RL",
"sortMethod":"hubsize"

It's working . Let me try with several other examples

It doesn't work for some other examples as different groups come in same level. like below image-

Any other workaround- :) ?

Hi Adam, any other workaround please? Last version for vis where only forward edges getting created is 4.10 .
