Dependency Wheel

This is a fork from the MooWheel Class version 0.2 from unwieldy studios http://unwieldy.net. Written by Augusto Becciu. You can get more information to MooWheel here http://unwieldy.net/web/moowheel

This fork is customized to visualize dependencies for software libraries. It is used on https://www.versioneye.com to show recursive dependencies for Java and Ruby Projects.

This fork is very strongly customized for VersionEye. But anyway! Feel free to take a look and get some inspiration :-)

Some of the dependency wheels created at VersionEye are on Pinterest.com. This image below is one example.

Code Example

It is very to use the library. All you need is HTML div.

<div id="canvas-container"></div>

And a little bit JavaScript.

<script type="text/javascript">
  function render_wheel(){
    canvas_container = document.getElementById("canvas-container")
    if (canvas_container){
      var wheel = new DependencyWheel.Remote(false, canvas_container, { 
        url: 'YOUR_RESOURCE_RETURNING_JSON.json',
        width: "605", 
        height: "605",
        infoBox: "infoBox",
        infoNumber: "runtime_recursive_number",
        canvas_id: "canvas",
        canvas_hover_id: "canvas_hover",
        data_border: 70,
        show_label: false,
        resize: false,
        scope: "SCOPE",
        container_id: "canvas-container",
        onItemClick: function(item, event){
          window.location.href = "YOUR_NEW_RESOURCE";
        }
      } );
    }
  }
</script>

The server resource has to deliver a JSON string with this structure:

[
  {
    connections: [
      "id_to_another_node_1"
      "id_to_another_node_1"
      ]
    text: "Label text of this node"
    id: "id_of_this_node"
    version: "version string"
  }
]

Here is a short example:

[
  {
    connections: [ "node_2" ]
    text: "node_1"
    id: "node_1"
    version: "1.0.0"
  },
  {
    connections: [ "node_1" ]
    text: "node_2"
    id: "node_2"
    version: "1.0.0"
  }
]

The example above will render 2 nodes who are connected with each other.
