# Software Galaxies
This repository combines visualizations of major software package managers.
All visualizations are available here: http://anvaka.github.io/pm/#/
Please read [operating manual](https://github.com/anvaka/pm/tree/master/about#software-galaxies-documentation) -
it is short and describes basic navigation principles.Repository was create for my talk at [CascadiaJS 2015](http://2015.cascadiajs.com/browser/)
**After conference update** - [**video**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZ6Yhlxv7Os) -
[slides](http://anvaka.github.io/talks/cascadia2015/#/)Friends, you are awesome! I can't express how much I appreciate all your
kind words and warm feedback. It really means a world for me. Thank you!# Individual Visualizations
Each graph is indexed individually, and data is pushed to `gh-pages` branch
of [galactic-data](https://github.com/anvaka/galactic-data).

git clone https://github.com/anvaka/pm
cd pm
npm i
npm start
```This will start local development sever with auto-rebuild.
## Your own graphs
This section has detailed instructions about how to use the tool
with your own graphs. Before you read any further, if your graph
is smaller than 10k nodes, consider using [ngraph.pixel](https://github.com/anvaka/ngraph.pixel)
or [VivaGraph](https://github.com/anvaka/VivaGraphJS) both should
be able to provide interactive layout.If you have an interesting graph but don't have JavaScript experience,
please feel free to reach out to me and I'll try to make visualization
for you (my email is `[email protected]`).Otherwise, if you want to hack on your own, please keep reading.
### Graph
First, you will need a graph in [ngraph.graph](https://github.com/anvaka/ngraph.graph)
format. The `ngraph.graph` has detailed documentation about how to create graph,
but it also has several loaders from popular graph formats (e.g. [dot](https://github.com/anvaka/ngraph.fromdot),
[gexf](https://github.com/anvaka/ngraph.gexf))### Layout
Now that you have a graph we need to compute the layout.
If your graph is smaller than 200k nodes, consider using [ngraph.offline.layout](https://github.com/anvaka/ngraph.offline.layout). This module was
created exactly for the purpose of the `pm` project, it is well documented, and
should be easy to get started with. You can also read `layout.js` of `all[gems|go|bower]`
packages to see more examples.If your graph is much larger than 200k nodes, then consider using
[ngraph.native](https://github.com/anvaka/ngraph.native) - this module
is harder to work with (as it requires C++ knowledge), but it is much
faster.The secret GitHub visualization is using [ngraph.native](https://github.com/anvaka/ngraph.native).
### Data format
Once layout is computed, we are ready to visualize. Just save the graph using
[ngraph.tobinary](https://github.com/anvaka/ngraph.tobinary#ngraphtobinary)
and store it along with latest positions file (produced by layout) into a folder.The folder structure should look like this:
```
.
└── my-pm-data-server
└── my-graph
├── manifest.json
└── version-1
├── labels.json /* this file is produced by ngraph.tobinary */
├── links.bin /* this file is produced by ngraph.tobinary */
└── positions.bin /* this file is produced by ngraph.native */
```The file `manifest.json` describes what version of the graph are available and has the following
content:``` json
{
"all": ["version-1"],
"last": "version-1"
}
```Inside `my-pm-data-server` we launch a web server. I personally prefer [http-server](https://www.npmjs.com/package/http-server). Once it is installed globally (`npm i http-server -g`), you can launch it like this:
```
http-server --cors -p 9090
```This will start a local data server at `http://127.0.0.1:9090/`
Update the [config.js](https://github.com/anvaka/pm/blob/master/src/config.js) in
this repository to point to your data server, and your graph should be accessible athttp://127.0.0.1:8081/#/galaxy/my-graph
#### Note
The [`galactic-data`](https://github.com/anvaka/galactic-data/tree/gh-pages/npm) follows the same
data structure as described above. Use it for the reference if you need an example# The secret visualization
The last shown visualization was secret GitHub followers visualization.
It shows all GitHub users who has more than two followers.The visualization has more than 1,100,000 nodes, and renders
at 60 fps when flying around. The FPS drops when you hover-over
nodes to 20-30, This is because we are doing hit-testing,
to find what's under cursor.With this many nodes, it runs well in the browser. Unfortunately
it requires more than 1GB of RAM. Which may or may not crash
your phone browser - sorry about this.With all warnings said, here are the links:

Please do not hesitate to provide your feedback or bug fixes.
Even if it is something small like fixing a typo - I'd be glad to
hear from you!
