CHAP Links Library

CHAP Links Library is a web based visualization library for displaying graphs, networks, and timelines. The tools are developed as Google Visualization Charts for Javascript and GWT. CHAP Links Library is developed by Almende as part of CHAP, the Collective Human Agent Paradigm.

This site contains documentation, downloads and live examples of the CHAP Links Library. The Google Group CHAP Links Library can be used to ask questions and share ideas. Sourcecode can be found at the Github project chap-links-library. Issues and feature requests can be submitted via the Github project too.

CHAP Links Library is open source and licensed under the Apache 2.0 License.

The library contains the following components:

Graph	Graph3d	Network	Timeline	TreeGrid

Successor

CHAP Links Library now has a successor: vis.js. A couple of fundamental limitations in the current architecture of CHAP Links Library have been reached. Therefore, a new initiative has been started, aiming at more flexible data manipulation, better performance, and expandable visualization tools.

Main differences are:

• The functionality of vis.js will be largely similar to that available in CHAP Links Library.
• Data is now based on JSON instead of a Google DataTable, and is key based instead of row based. This makes dealing with dynamic data much easier. Data can be manipulated via a DataSet, and one can listen for changes in the data and synchronize these changes with a backend server.
• The Timeline is modularized. This makes it possible to customize and extend the Timeline much further. The Timeline and Graph will be merged into a single tool, and it will become easy to display more item types on the Timeline, such as annotations.
• The code is modularized, making it easier to maintain and extend.
• vis.js builds upon great libraries such as Hammer.js to ensure full touch support, and moment.js for powerful date/time functionality.
• Support for older browsers has been dropped.
