Cluster diagram with straight edges & edgeType not working?

[xhxh96]

I'm trying to render a hierarchical clustering diagram that looks something like this (minus the similarity axis and dashed-line) with NetworkFrame.

However, I haven't been able to figure out how I can configure the edges to produce a diagram that's like the above. This is what was generated with NetworkFrame with cluster as its networkType:

I understood from this post that this can be done in d3 by changing the attribute of <path>. I tried changing edgeType but it didn't work -- I used the example in the doc and the edges simply didn't show up.

Hi @xhxh96 ,

I think what you're looking for is the setting the edgeType property to a function that returns JSX, instead of passing in a custom path string directly: https://semiotic.nteract.io/api/networkframe#edgetype--string--object--function-

Inside your function, you get a reference to EdgeData, which should have all the information you need to create the custom edge

https://github.com/nteract/semiotic/blob/d79503d7b90f25b6776c7b3e957ba3a12c87b1c5/src/components/types/networkTypes.ts#L45-L55

For example:

{
     //.. your other network graph configuration data
     edgeType: (edgeData) => {
        // Suggest console.log(d) here to check what data you have access to 
        const myCustomPath = yourCustomRightAngledEdgesFunction(edgeData);
        return  <path d={myCustomPath} />
    }  
 }
}

Hope this helps!

@hydrosquall is right, that's how you'd implement custom behavior, in your case you'd want to use one of the step interpolators like stepBefore.
