Cubic Bezier Curve Edge

Overview

A cubic Bezier curve is a versatile smooth curve with control points that can be freely distributed, suitable for connecting nodes in any direction.

Use cases:

  • Suitable for graphs with any layout, such as network graphs and relationship graphs.

  • Use when smooth node connections are needed without specific directional requirements.

    gui.add({ type: 'cubic' }, 'type').disable();

    const options = {
      curveOffset: 20,
      curvePosition: 0.5,
    };
    const optionFolder = gui.addFolder('cubic.style');
    optionFolder.add(options, 'curveOffset', 0, 100, 1);
    optionFolder.add(options, 'curvePosition', 0, 1, 0.1);

    optionFolder.onChange(({ property, value }) => {
      graph.updateEdgeData([{ id: 'edge1', style: { [property]: value } }]);
      graph.render();
    });
  },
);

设置 edge.type 为 cubic 以使用三次贝塞尔曲线。

Style Configuration

If the element has specific attributes, we will list them below. For all general style attributes, see BaseEdge

Attribute Description Type Default Required
controlPoints Array of control points used to define the shape of the curve. If not specified, control points will be calculated using curveOffset and curvePosition. [Point, Point] -
curvePosition Relative position of the control point on the line connecting the two endpoints, ranging from 0-1. number | number[] 0.5
curveOffset Distance of the control point from the line connecting the two endpoints, understood as the degree of curve bending. number | number[] 20

Point

type Point = [number, number] | [number, number, number] | Float32Array;
