force directed graph viz development roadmap May/June 2012 =========================================== v2 - BADGER, aka honey badger ------------------------------------------- modify the flat file and the code http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r7wHMg5Yjg in NODES: - alter name > label - add nodeID, and make it a serialized int in EDGES: - alter source > sourceID - alter target > targetID in CODE: - make all above mods to JSON parser =========================================== v3 - COYOTE ------------------------------------------- put the GDF data into the database include pID, oID and groupID group is a new entity, like association may be identical to school or company, think about it and write routines to dynamically construct the JSON from the database ------------------------------------------- v4 - DEER ------------------------------------------- make graphical cards for the nodes http://mbostock.github.com/d3/talk/20110921/#25 a - picture b - name c - company ------------------------------------------- v5 - ELEPHANT ------------------------------------------- make both nodes and edges clickable a - nodes click to people dossiers b - edges click to material connections ------------------------------------------- v6 - FOX ------------------------------------------- weight and color the edges a - use the scoring algorithm b - start with simple sum of weights from E_ACTIONTYPES =========================================== v7 - GAZELLE ------------------------------------------- pan and zoom a - implement mouse wheel zoom b - implement click and drag pan c - similar to google earth =========================================== v8 - HARE ------------------------------------------- morph to and from geo lock a - toggle node locations between springs solver and geolocation b - smooth morph between positions threshold control slider - only show connections above value X curved arc renderer - make more like _a__ and less like _b__ a = linkedin labs renderer b = gephi preview =========================================== vX - IBIS and beyond ------------------------------------------- - cull images > dots based on level - dim opacity of lines based on weight - toggle names - rollover tooltips - click individual to re-center graph on that person - collapse / expand connections (different line color) to evidence
