Constellation Training
Constellation is a graph-focused data visualisation and interactive analysis application enabling data access, federation and manipulation capabilities across large and complex data sets.
While it provides significant capability out of the box, it has been designed with extensibility and modularity in mind. There are two prominent ways of extending Constellation, namely through its views or by creating plugins.
Views appear as windows in the application and provide visualisation of and interaction with the graph.
Plugins perform operations on the graph. In addition, there are several other ways that Constellation can be customised, including defining new attributes or even your own custom graph.
This guide will introduce you to the most common ways to customise Constellation in order to solve domain-specific problems. Each chapter will introduce a new concept interspersed with a series of practical exercises. These exercises will build on each other to form a complete solution to a hypothetical scenario.
Special Instructions
Presently we are in the process of migrating our repositories from NetBeans 8 to NetBeans 11. Everything is up to date besides the training documentation. Until this is updated, you will need to checkout this commit in this repository to follow along the code and documentation and this README.
