Overview

deck.gl v9 WebGPU not supported

graph-layers is a deck.gl layer pack for GPU-powered visualization of large graphs.

caution

The deck.gl-community repository is semi-maintaned. One of its goals is to collect and preserve valuable deck.gl ecosystem related code that does not have a dedicated home. Some modules may no longer have dedicated maintainers. This means that there is sometimes no one who can respond quickly to issues.

Overview​

With graph-layers, developers can build various type of graph/network applications with minimal effort. The composable API enables highly customizable graph visualization by leveraging or even extending the provided graph styles and layout algorithms.

History​

graph-layers started out as a friendly fork of Uber's archived graph.gl framework, bringing the graph.gl code up-to-date with the latest deck.gl versions.

What's New​
