Edge and Node file Format

Edge File contains: - node1: the subject column (source node) - label: the predicate column (property name) - node2: the object column (target node)

Optional: - node1;label: the subject label (source node) - label;label: the predicate label (property name) - node2;label: the object label (target node)

Node File contains: - id: id of the node. Default is 'id' col, but can be configured through --node-file-id option.

Optional: - label: the node label - x: x_coordinate of node - y: y_coordinate of node

Both node file and edge file can contain additional columns. These columns can be used to provide more information as needed (see examples below)

kgtk visualize-graph -i examples/docs/visualize_force_graph_example2.tsv -o default.html
This is the default version of this command, only producing a graph with default color, width and size

2. Color by is_country column in the node file, use d3.schemeCategory10 to color nodes

kgtk visualize-graph -i examples/docs/visualize_force_graph_example2.tsv \
                     --node-file examples/docs/visualize_force_graph_example2_node.tsv \
                     --node-color-column is_country \
                     --node-color-style d3.schemeCategory10 \
                     --node-color-numbers as-is \
                     -o show_countries.html
This command specifies is_country as column for assigning colors.

This command specifies that the values in the color column are numbers and should be left as is with the help of following option --node-color-numbers as- is.

Finally, we specify that nodes should be colored using the d3.schemeCategory10 style.

3. Color by column degree, values as numbers, color scale: log, d3.schemePastel1 as color style

kgtk visualize-graph -i examples/docs/visualize_force_graph_example2.tsv \
                     --node-file examples/docs/visualize_force_graph_example2_node.tsv \
                     --node-color-column degree \
                     --node-color-numbers log \
                     --node-color-style d3.schemePastel1 \
                     -o show_degrees.html

This command specifies degree as column for assigning colors.

This command specifies that the values in the color column are numbers and should be scaled logarithmically with the help of following option --node-color-numbers log.

Finally, we specify that nodes should be colored using the d3.schemePastel1 style.

4. Handle missing values

kgtk visualize-graph -i examples/docs/visualize_force_graph_example2.tsv \
                     --node-file examples/docs/visualize_force_graph_example2_node.tsv \
                     --node-color-column type_missing \
                     --node-color-style d3.schemeSet3 \
                     -o show_types_missing.html

This command uses the column type_missing as assigning colors.

Notice here there are missing values.

All missing values will be assigned the default node color, using the style d3.schemeSet3 to color nodes.

5. Color by column hex_color, values as hexadecimal color codes

kgtk visualize-graph -i examples/docs/visualize_force_graph_example2.tsv \
                     --node-file examples/docs/visualize_force_graph_example2_node.tsv \
                     --node-color-column hex_color \
                     --node-color-hex \
                     -o show_color_hex.html
This command uses the column hex_color, which contains valid hex colors, for coloring nodes.

6. Show Edge Color

kgtk visualize-graph -i examples/docs/visualize_force_graph_example2.tsv \
                     --edge-color-column hex_color \
                     --edge-color-hex \
                     -o show_edge_color.html
This command uses the column hex_color, which contains valid hex colors, for assigning edge colors.

7. Show Node Size and Color

kgtk visualize-graph -i examples/docs/visualize_force_graph_example2.tsv \
                     --node-file examples/docs/visualize_force_graph_example2_node.tsv \
                     --node-size-column population \
                     --node-size-minimum 2.0 \
                     --node-size-maximum 6.0 \
                     --node-size-default 4.0 \
                     --node-color-column hex_color \
                     --node-color-hex \
                     --node-size-scale log \
                     -o show_edge_node_color.html
Colors nodes according to the column hex_color, which contains valid hex colors. Size of the nodes is proportional to the values in the column population, we scale the node size logarithmically

8. Edge Width

kgtk visualize-graph -i examples/docs/visualize_force_graph_example2.tsv \
                     --edge-width-column weight \
                     --edge-width-minimum 2.0 \
                     --edge-width-maximum 5.0 \
                     --edge-width-default 2.0 \
                     --edge-width-scale log \
                     --node-color-column degree \
                     --node-color-style d3.schemeDark2 \
                     --node-color-numbers linear \
                     -o node_size_log1.html
This command uses the column weight in edge file to interpolate edge width using the log scale.

Resulting edge width will be between 2.0 and 5.0 as specified by the options --edge-width-minimum and --edge-width-maximum. Any edge with no value in weight columns will be assigned the default size: 2.0

Moreover, color the nodes using the numerical values in the column degree, scaling the values linearly, using the style d3.schemeDark2.

9. Show text above nodes

kgtk visualize-graph -i examples/docs/visualize_force_graph_example2.tsv \
                     --node-file examples/docs/visualize_force_graph_example2_node.tsv \
