Linear colour scale? #14

Closed FranckLejzerowicz closed 5 years ago

Hello, Your tool is amazing and I'm exploring it extensively! First - how shall I cite your tool if I'm to use it in a publication? Second - is there a way to apply a gradient / colormap to a node / link definition? Thanks! Franck

Hi Franck,

Glad you like it! The tool is not published in an academic journal yet (but will be in the next year!) so until then you can cite it using this:

Perez, S, Hahn, A, Hallam, S. (2015). Hive Panel Explorer: a tool for visualizing complex networks. Github Repository. https://github.com/hallamlab/HivePanelExplorer

As for a linear color scale, right now you would have to set it manually. SO for each node value you would determine the color (in HEX code). If you wanted to hard code your color scheme so that you don't have to recolor your nodes every time you open the panel, you can! By adding a line like this at the bottom of panel_methods.js:

color_marks("circle", "fill", "node_category", "node_category_value", "red", "=") color_marks("path", "stroke", "edge_category", "edge_category_value", "blue", ">")

Hope that helps!

Sarah

Hooo I love these hacks! Because it give me the chance to fine tune all the colora and make gradients! That helps a lot - thanks a bunch! Best Franck
