NetVisualizationkit

OverviewOverview

Designed for Windows, this tool offers a comprehensive solution for network visualization, harnessing the power of the vis-network and d3 libraries. It allows users to define nodes and edges, tailor node aesthetics by adjusting colors and sizes, and then showcase the network interactively on a web interface.

Installation

Run Visualizationkit.exe.

How to Use

• Start the server by running Visualizationkit.exe.
• Enter the desired port number or use the default (5002).
• Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:<port_number>/.
• Input node and edge data in the provided fields.
• Click on the "Visualize" button to see the network visualization.

Screenshot

Edge Format:

In this project, edges are represented using the following format:

node1_ID>>node2_ID>>Edge_Label>>Edge_Style

Edge Styles:

• dashed: Represents the edge with a dashed line in red color.
• dotted: Represents the edge with a dotted pattern.

How to Use with Excel for Big Data

NetVisualizationkit can work with Excel columns by using the required formulas to prepare the input data, then copying and pasting the generated results directly into the software.

This method is very useful when working with big data, large network inventories, or bulk node and edge creation.

Steps

1. Arrange your data in Excel columns.
2. Write the required Excel formula to generate the format needed by the software.
3. Drag the formula down for all rows.
4. Copy the generated results.
5. Paste the output into the appropriate field in NetVisualizationkit.
6. Click Visualize.

Example for Edge Data

If your Excel sheet contains:

• Column A = Source Node ID
• Column B = Destination Node ID
• Column C = Edge Label
• Column D = Edge Style

Use this formula in Excel:

=A2&">>"&B2&">>"&C2&">>"&D2
