Force Directed Diagram

What's new in update 1.2.0:

• Fix oscillation issues in the Force Directed Diagram where nodes would not stabilize at lower framerates or with certain physics parameters, by introducing velocity damping. ⚠️ For existing projects : please consider updating your scenes' Force Directed Diagram physics settings to avoid unwanted behaviours.
• Add support for directional and bidirectional links, with example scene (DirectionalLinks)
• Add nodes expansion example scene (NodesExpansion) : clicking on a node will pop neighbouring nodes and create appropriate links.

1.1.2:

• Implement Force Directed Diagram gameobject transform : scale, rotation, position of all nodes and links.
• Implement Force Directed Diagram physics update mode selection (Update or FixedUpdate).
• Fix bug where nodes would reset to zero position when forces applied were close to zero.
• Fix bug where tooltip panel was left open when no node was hovered in 2DDiagram scene.
• Update package manifest for lower Unity version compatibility.

1.1.1 :

• Fix jittering at low framerates
• Add diagram loading at runtime with example scene
• Improved code architecture with more extensibility and assembly definitions
• Add random seed control to allow consistent nodes positioning and diagram display

1.1.0 :

• WebGL compatibility + example scene
• Selectable links + example scene
• Keyboard and touch interactivity for 3D and 2D cameras
• Improved overall code architecture
• Fix MacOS compatibility issue
• Fix minor issues

⚠️ Warning ⚠️ : the new update may contain breaking changes, please back up your project before updating from an older version.

This package provides components and tools to display link/node data in the form of a Force Directed graph drawing.

This type of layout is commonly used in a variety of application areas: network visualization, large graph visualization, knowledge representation, system management, or mesh visualization.

It is used to visualize the connections between objects in a network. By grouping the objects connected to each other in a natural way, a Force-Directed Graph is visually interesting and also makes it possible to discover subtle relationships between groups.

The current implemented features are :

• Diagram loading at runtime
• Drag and drop
• Fixed nodes
• Camera focus on specific node
• Physics parameters real-time tweaking
• Image nodes
• Text nodes
• Grouping nodes by data values
• Full node and link customization with node and link factories
• Diagram editor
• Export/import as json
• GPU computed diagram layout (over 5000 nodes and links at over 30 fps)
• Full 2D support with pan and zoom
• Business cases for trading data visualization, fault detection, isolation and recovery, and organization management
• Directional and bidirectional links
• Nodes expansion

See the demo video for a few examples of what can be achieved with this package.
