use with other layout? about dagre-d3 HOT 7 OPEN

No, but it should be pretty trivial to do. It would require a transform of the graphlib object to JSON of the form:

var nodes = g.nodes().map(function(u) { return { id: u }; })
var edges = g.edges().map(function(e) { return { source: g.source(e), target: g.target(e) }; });

I haven't tested the code above, but it should be a sketch to get you going with the input args to the d3 force layout.

I'm doing something similar on a different project where I'm using d3's tree layout with graphs from graphlib.

hmm, okay, I have

var force = 
  d3.layout.force()
    .nodes(g.nodes().map(function (e) { return {id: e} }))
    .links(g.edges().map(function (e) {
      return {source: g.source(e), target: g.target(e)}
    }))
    .start()


var svg = d3.select('#dagre g')
    .attr("width", 1000)
    .attr("height", 1000);

but it doesn't add and svg elements or make any errors...

Ahh sorry, that won't add any SVG. The SVG parts of dagre-d3 are pretty specific to its type of layout (Sugiyama). We could possible add support for a force layout, but anything short of giving access to d3 would probably be pretty limiting.

For reference, here are a couple examples of using the force layout with D3: http://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/4062045 and http://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/950642

Here's something I hacked together quickly to show how Graphlib and d3 could be used together: http://jsfiddle.net/URPub/2/

Most of the work is on the D3 side.

Did you get a chance to look at the above? My main concern is that there is less structure around what we can assume when trying to render the force directed graphs. If you have thoughts on what you'd like to see as a consumer maybe we can work together to put together some helpers in dagre-d3.

oh, sorry, I've been super busy (because realtimeconf )
but that is done now, so I can catch up with this stuff.
I think I'd rather publish another module for force directed d3 layout.
I did get something working - I'll see if I can git it up

Cool talk at realtimeconf! I'm interested to see where you take cyphernet.

Making a separate module makes sense. Definitely let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

Was there any change in this topic?
An easy configurable force layout, like this http://bl.ocks.org/d3noob/5141278 would be nice for those (like me) who need a fast solution and don't want to learn d3 in one day.
