neo4jd3.js

Neo4j graph visualization using D3.js.

Features

• Compaptible with the Neo4j data format and the D3.js data format.
• Force simulation.
• Info panel that shows nodes and relationships information on hover.
• Double click callbacks.
• Custom node colors by node type.
• Text nodes + Font Awesome icon nodes + SVG image nodes (e.g. using Twitter Emoji)).
• Sticky nodes (drag to stick, single click to unstick).
• Dynamic graph update (e.g. double click a node to expand it).
• Highlight nodes on init.
• Relationship auto-orientation.
• Zoom, pan, auto fit.
• Compatible with D3.js v4.
