Sigma.js is an open-source JavaScript library aimed at visualizing graphs of thousands of nodes and edges using WebGL, mainly developed by @jacomyal and @Yomguithereal, and built on top of graphology.
How to use in your project
To integrate sigma into your project, follow these simple steps:
Installation: Add
sigmaandgraphologyto your project by running the following command:npm install sigma graphologyUsage: Import sigma into your JavaScript or TypeScript file:
import Graph from "graphology"; import Sigma from "sigma";Then, create a new
Sigmainstance with your graph data and target container:const graph = new Graph(); graph.addNode("1", { label: "Node 1", x: 0, y: 0, size: 10, color: "blue" }); graph.addNode("2", { label: "Node 2", x: 1, y: 1, size: 20, color: "red" }); graph.addEdge("1", "2", { size: 5, color: "purple" }); const sigmaInstance = new Sigma(graph, document.getElementById("container"));
