# Sigma.js
|
|
|
|
This is an interesting library to be visulising large networks, however lacks an easy way to modify nodes, instead it is needed to re-write the renderer for the nodes to enable this, and the same would have to be done for (svg, canvas and webgl).
|
|
|
|
Sigma.js also has the problems that each individual node needs to have a specific value defined for an z and y coordinate, their are plugins that do implement a force graph layout, but due to the nature of the architecture of sigma.js it seems much more complicated to get a layout which makes the most amount of sense.
|
|
|
|
Therefore, for small networks, with rich information for each node, sigma.js is not currently the best choice, however if a need to visulise a whole network spanning multiple regions, projects and services, it could be a worthy avenenue to persue.
