GLIMPSE-0.4.0

Features ✨

• Larger networks uploaded will now be assigned a community ID using Networkx's community detection. This results in improved scalability for the visualization of larger networks containing more than 2500 nodes/vertices.
  • Searching for nodes using the search field will zoom into the cluster/community that node belongs to.
  • Clicking on a clustered node will release all nodes inside that clustered node.
  • Right-clicking on those nodes that belong to a cluster and clicking the re-cluster menu item will of course re-cluster all those nodes back to a single cluster node.
• You are now able to upload multiple glm files using the overlay upload feature to display multiple of the same model.
  • You are also able to cluster these models as they are assigned a cluster/community ID based on the number of uploads.
  • The communication overlay file format is still through the overlay upload.
• When uploading JSON files using the GLIMPSE object data structure you are able to supply an additional key value pair to edges such as: animation: true. This will create a small red circle to be animated going from the source node to the destination node.
  • This key value pair can also be supplied to animate an edge using GLIMPSE's local WebSocket API.
  • Please see the socket_testing folder for code examples
• Right-clicking on an empty space will now allow you to select the New Edge menu item to create an edge/connection between two existing nodes.
• For those that would like to get more hands on with the visualization's physics settings pressing ctrl+p will bring up the physics settings.

Bug Fixes 🪲

• Fixed some unique issue where the application would crash when uploading unsupported files or when supported files would contain a typo.
• Visualization performance was improved by disabling smooth edges.
