Advanced Customization

This guide explores the advanced customization capabilities of Hypergraph-DB visualization, enabling you to create unique and professional hypergraph visualizations.

Advanced Styling System

🎨 Dynamic Style Engine

Data-Driven Style Mapping

class StyleMapper {
    constructor(visualization) {
        this.viz = visualization;
        this.mappings = new Map();
    }

    // Create style mapping rules
    createMapping(property, attribute, scale) {
        const mapping = {
            property,    // Visual property (color, size, opacity)
            attribute,   // Data attribute (degree, weight, type)
            scale        // Scale function
        };

        this.mappings.set(property, mapping);
        return this;
    }

    // Apply style mappings
    applyMappings(elements) {
        elements.forEach(element => {
            this.mappings.forEach((mapping, property) => {
                const value = element.data[mapping.attribute];
                const mappedValue = mapping.scale(value);
                element.style[property] = mappedValue;
            });
        });
    }
}

// Usage example
const mapper = new StyleMapper(visualization);

// Map node size based on degree
mapper.createMapping('size', 'degree', 
    d3.scaleLinear().domain([1, 20]).range([5, 30])
);

// Map node color based on type
mapper.createMapping('color', 'type', 
    d3.scaleOrdinal()
      .domain(['researcher', 'institution', 'paper'])
      .range(['#e74c3c', '#3498db', '#2ecc71'])
);

// Map edge opacity based on weight
mapper.createMapping('opacity', 'weight',
    d3.scaleLinear().domain([0, 1]).range([0.3, 1.0])
);

🌈 Advanced Animation System

Complex Transition Animations

class AnimationEngine {
    constructor() {
        this.animations = new Map();
        this.timeline = gsap.timeline();
    }

    // Create node entrance animation
    animateNodeEntry(nodes) {
        return gsap.fromTo(nodes.nodes(), 
            {
                scale: 0,
                opacity: 0,
                rotation: 180
            },
            {
                scale: 1,
                opacity: 1,
                rotation: 0,
                duration: 0.8,
                ease: "back.out(1.7)",
                stagger: 0.1
            }
        );
    }

    // Create edge drawing animation
    animateEdgeDrawing(edges) {
        // Set initial path length to 0
        edges.each(function() {
            const pathLength = this.getTotalLength();
            d3.select(this)
                .attr('stroke-dasharray', pathLength)
                .attr('stroke-dashoffset', pathLength);
        });

        // Animate path drawing
        return gsap.to(edges.nodes(), {
            strokeDashoffset: 0,
            duration: 1.5,
            ease: "power2.inOut",
            stagger: 0.05
        });
    }
}

3D Visualization

🌐 WebGL Integration

Three.js Basic Setup

class Hypergraph3D {
    constructor(container) {
        this.container = container;
        this.scene = new THREE.Scene();
        this.camera = new THREE.PerspectiveCamera(75, 
            window.innerWidth / window.innerHeight, 0.1, 1000);
        this.renderer = new THREE.WebGLRenderer({ antialias: true });
        this.controls = new THREE.OrbitControls(this.camera, this.renderer.domElement);

        this.init();
    }

    init() {
        // Setup renderer
        this.renderer.setSize(window.innerWidth, window.innerHeight);
        this.renderer.setClearColor(0xffffff);
        this.container.appendChild(this.renderer.domElement);

        // Setup camera position
        this.camera.position.set(0, 0, 100);

        // Add lighting
        const ambientLight = new THREE.AmbientLight(0x404040, 0.6);
        this.scene.add(ambientLight);

        const directionalLight = new THREE.DirectionalLight(0xffffff, 0.8);
        directionalLight.position.set(50, 50, 50);
        this.scene.add(directionalLight);

        this.animate();
    }

    createNode(data) {
        const geometry = new THREE.SphereGeometry(data.size || 5, 32, 32);
        const material = new THREE.MeshLambertMaterial({ 
            color: data.color || 0x3498db 
        });
        const mesh = new THREE.Mesh(geometry, material);

        mesh.position.set(data.x || 0, data.y || 0, data.z || 0);
        mesh.userData = data;

        this.scene.add(mesh);
        return mesh;
    }
}

Custom Layout Algorithms

🧠 Machine Learning-Driven Layouts

t-SNE Layout

class TSNELayout {
    constructor(nodes, options = {}) {
        this.nodes = nodes;
        this.perplexity = options.perplexity || 30;
        this.learningRate = options.learningRate || 200;
        this.maxIterations = options.maxIterations || 1000;

        this.similarities = this.computeSimilarities();
        this.positions = this.initializePositions();
    }

    computeSimilarities() {
        const n = this.nodes.length;
        const similarities = new Array(n).fill(null).map(() => new Array(n).fill(0));

        // Compute node feature similarity
        for (let i = 0; i < n; i++) {
            for (let j = 0; j < n; j++) {
                if (i !== j) {
                    similarities[i][j] = this.featureSimilarity(
                        this.nodes[i], this.nodes[j]
                    );
                }
            }
        }

        return similarities;
    }

    featureSimilarity(nodeA, nodeB) {
        // Calculate similarity based on node attributes
        const features = ['degree', 'betweenness', 'clustering'];
        let similarity = 0;

        features.forEach(feature => {
            const diff = Math.abs((nodeA[feature] || 0) - (nodeB[feature] || 0));
            similarity += Math.exp(-diff);
        });

        return similarity / features.length;
    }

    run() {
        for (let iter = 0; iter < this.maxIterations; iter++) {
            this.updatePositions();

            if (iter % 100 === 0) {
                console.log(`t-SNE iteration ${iter}`);
            }
        }

        return this.positions;
    }
}

Performance Optimization

    constructor(visualization) {
        this.viz = visualization;
        this.viewportBounds = null;
        this.margin = 100; // Viewport margin
    }

    updateViewportBounds() {
        const transform = this.viz.getTransform();
        const { width, height } = this.viz.getSize();

        this.viewportBounds = {
            left: -transform.x / transform.k - this.margin,
            top: -transform.y / transform.k - this.margin,

        return element.x >= left && element.x <= right &&
               element.y >= top && element.y <= bottom;
    }

    filterVisibleElements(elements) {
        this.updateViewportBounds();
        return elements.filter(element => this.isInViewport(element));
    }
}
