Social networks: Visualize connections between entities
Any graph structure: Flexible node and edge data
Interactive features:
Drag nodes to rearrange the layout
Zoom and pan to explore large networks
Toggle edge labels on/off
Color nodes by categorical attributes
Adjust connection strength cutoff
Switch between different layout algorithms
Example 1: Stock Correlation Network with Multiple Scenarios
This example shows correlations between stock returns across different time periods. Stocks are colored by sector to reveal industry clustering patterns.
Smart cutoff calculation for optimal visualization
Try this: Switch between scenarios to see how correlations change across different time periods.
Notice how nodes stay in place while edges change - this makes it easy to identify robust correlations.
Adjust the cutoff slider to filter weak correlations. Stocks in the same sector (same color) often cluster together.
Stock Correlation Network - Multiple Scenarios
(Apply variable selection & reorganize layout)
(Changing layout recalculates)
Tip: Deselected variables become translucent. Click "Recalculate Graph" to remove them and reorganize.
Switching scenarios updates edges but keeps node positions.

Example 2: City Proximity Network with Correlation Methods
This example shows similarity between cities based on their economic indicators, with both Pearson and Spearman correlations available.
Features demonstrated:
Correlation method selector (Pearson vs Spearman)
Node coloring by geographic region
Circle layout showing regional grouping
Dynamic edge filtering based on selected method
Try this: Switch between Pearson and Spearman correlation methods to see how the network changes.
Pearson measures linear relationships while Spearman measures rank-based relationships.
City Economic Similarity Network
(Apply variable selection & reorganize layout)
(Changing layout recalculates)
Tip: Deselected variables become translucent. Click "Recalculate Graph" to remove them and reorganize.
Switching scenarios updates edges but keeps node positions.

Example 3: Social Network with Demographics
This example shows a social network where people are connected based on similarity.
You can color nodes by different demographic attributes.
Try this: Switch between coloring by Department, Team, and Location to see different community patterns.
Social Network - Connection Patterns
(Apply variable selection & reorganize layout)
(Changing layout recalculates)
Tip: Deselected variables become translucent. Click "Recalculate Graph" to remove them and reorganize.
Switching scenarios updates edges but keeps node positions.
Data: social_graph_data
Example 4: Research Collaboration Network
This example shows collaboration patterns between researchers across different institutions and fields.
Multiple coloring attributes (Institution and Field)
Dense network with many connections
Different cutoff sensitivity
Observation: Researchers at the same institution (same color) often collaborate more,
but there are also strong cross-institutional collaborations visible in the network.
Research Collaboration Network
(Apply variable selection & reorganize layout)
(Changing layout recalculates)
Tip: Deselected variables become translucent. Click "Recalculate Graph" to remove them and reorganize.
Switching scenarios updates edges but keeps node positions.
Data: research_graph_data
Example 5: Product Similarity Network with Grid Layout
This example demonstrates the grid layout option, organizing nodes in a regular grid pattern.
Features demonstrated:
Grid layout for organized visualization
Product categorization
Lower cutoff showing more connections
Use case: Grid layouts are useful when you want a clean, organized view
of all nodes with connections overlaid.
Product Purchase Co-occurrence Network
(Apply variable selection & reorganize layout)
(Changing layout recalculates)
Tip: Deselected variables become translucent. Click "Recalculate Graph" to remove them and reorganize.
Switching scenarios updates edges but keeps node positions.
Data: product_graph_data
