Interactive Graph Visualization in Your Browser

Argo Lite

An interactive graph visualization system that runs in your web browsers. No installation needed.

Live Demo - Launch Argo Lite in your browser

Documentations

• Quick Start (Visualization, Saving and Sharing Snapshots)
• Tutorial - Visualizing a citation graph of COVID-19 publications (Import Data, Incremental Exploration)
• Develop Argo Lite
• Deploy Argo Lite (and custom sharing service with access)

Feature Highlights

Interactive Graph Visualization

Visualize your graph with interactive force-directed layout, automatic sizing and coloring by pagerank, and full control over every node for customization!

Incremental Exploration

Argo Lite empowers you to incrementally explore large graphs. Start by several import nodes (with high PageRank or degree) or by a node that you are interested in, and add their neighbor nodes to expand your visualization!

Save and Publish via URLs

You can publish your "graph snapshot" as a URL link. Anyone with the link will be able to access and continue their exploration from this snapshot. You can still save the snapshot locally as a file if you prefer.

If you are working on sensitive or proprietary data, and prefer to set up a private sharing server with access control, please refer to Deploying Argo Lite and Sharing backend service

You will be able to load the snapshot from your saved file or from the shared link to work on them again. Note that each snapshot associated with a link is immutable, so if you modify a shared graph, you need to share again to get a new link. The original link will still point to the graph before your modification.

Embed into Web Pages

Argo Lite allows you to embed your interactive graph visualization snapshots into iframe-based web widgets! You can embed them into web articles, blog posts and even interactive notebooks such as Jupyter Notebooks. Tell a story with your graph!

argo-graph-lite's Issues

Add an error message when importing malformed CSV.

While Argo Lite is being used in a class where students import graphs from programmatically generated CSV files, many students created malformed CSV files without the correct quotation strings to escape string values, causing parsing errors during the import process. For example, while Argo Lite is expecting:

college, location
"Georgia Tech", "Atlanta, GA"

some students might generate

college, location
Georgia Tech, Atlanta, GA

which is malformed and cannot be imported.

Argo Lite should give a proper error dialog/message (or use the existing NotificationService that generates a toast) when such error occurs, rather than hanging in the import dialog.

Argo-graph vs Argo-graph-lite vs Carina

Just trying to understand the differences in the Polo Club graph applications. Can someone explain?

Integration with Neo4j

Wondering if you've done any integration with Neo4j. I'd be interested in replacing their graph with something faster.

How to embed Argo Lite into static webpages with programmatically generated graphs?

As I understood it Argo-Light is a pure Browser-based tool but I could not find out how to embed it in my web app. Which files do I need it and how do I call it.

Am I missing something?
