Visualize Graphs in the Browser With Just a Few Lines of the New Orb Code
Blog post from Memgraph
Orb is an open-source graph visualization library developed to address specific use cases not met by existing tools, allowing users to easily visualize graphs in web browsers. It supports a variety of features such as rendering simple and custom-styled graphs, handling graph events, and managing dynamic graph data changes. Orb facilitates interactive graph manipulation through event subscriptions and offers two distinct views: DefaultView for a blank canvas and MapView for overlaying graphs on map backgrounds using the Leaflet library. Users can customize node and edge styles, set up event handlers for interactivity, and utilize functions to update or remove graph elements dynamically. Originally an internal tool for Memgraph Playground and Memgraph Lab, Orb is now available for public use and contribution, with its source code hosted on GitHub for those interested in its architecture and future updates.
