Decision brief
CosmosGL/graph provides GPU-accelerated techniques for creating and rendering force-directed layouts. This makes it particularly apt for users who need to visualize complex networks efficiently.
Good fit when
- - When you require rapid visualization of large, complex network structures due to its GPU acceleration
- - For projects that focus heavily on the use of embeddings for graph layout optimization
Avoid when
- - If your project does not involve visualizing complex networks as this tool's forte lies in force-directed graphical representations
- - When working with systems or frameworks that do not support WebGL, since CosmosGL/graph relies on it for rendering
- Pricing:
- freemium - Free and open-source under the MIT license.
- Requirements:
- Requires a WebGL-supported environment

Quick Start
Install the package:
npm install @cosmos.gl/graph
Get the data, configure the graph and run the simulation:
import { Graph } from '@cosmos.gl/graph'
const div = document.querySelector('div')
const config = {
spaceSize: 4096,
simulationFriction: 0.1, // keeps the graph inert
simulationGravity: 0, // disables the gravity force
simulationRepulsion: 0.5, // increases repulsion between points
curvedLinks: true, // curved links
fitViewOnInit: true, // fit the view to the graph after initialization
fitViewDelay: 1000, // wait 1 second before fitting the view
fitViewPadding: 0.3, // centers the graph with a padding of ~30% of screen
rescalePositions: false, // rescale positions, useful when coordinates are too small
enableDrag: true, // enable dragging points
onClick: (pointIndex) => { console.log('Clicked point index: ', pointIndex) },
/* ... */
}
const graph = new Graph(div, config)
// Points: [x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3]
const pointPositions = new Float32Array([
0.0, 0.0, // Point 1 at (0,0)
1.0, 0.0, // Point 2 at (1,0)
0.5, 1.0, // Point 3 at (0.5,1)
]);
graph.setPointPositions(pointPositions)
// Links: [sourceIndex1, targetIndex1, sourceIndex2, targetIndex2]
const links = new Float32Array([
0, 1, // Link from point 0 to point 1
1, 2, // Link from point 1 to point 2
2, 0, // Link from point 2 to point 0
]);
graph.setLinks(links)
graph.render()
