Methods

append

  • append(obj, evtPipe?): any[]

  • Appends the given object to the selection.

          | string[]
          | Base
          | Path
          | Base[]
          | Selection<Edge | Node | Group>

    • OptionalevtPipe: any

    Returns any[]

bind

  • bind<T>(event, listener, insertAtStart?): EventGenerator

  • Bind an event listener. This method can be used with a type parameter by call sites; although it's not necessary it can be helpful to use this to ensure you've thought about what the payload to your event handler is going to be.

    Type Parameters

isSuspendEvents

reload

  • reload(): void

  • Reloads the content of this Selection, if a generator was supplied to the constructor. Otherwise does nothing. A data load start event is fired first, followed by a call to the generator to repopulate, and then a data load end event is fired. So calling this method on a Selection that you are rendering to a Surface will cause the Surface to repaint itself.

    Returns void

remove

  • remove(obj, evtPipe?): any[]

  • Removes the given object from the selection.

    Parameters

    • obj:
          | string
          | string[]
          | Base
          | Path
          | Base[]
          | Selection<Edge | Node | Group>

      Object(s) to remove. May take many forms - a Group, Group Id, Node, Node Id, or Edge, or a list of these, or a Path.

    • OptionalevtPipe: any

    Returns any[]

setCapacityPolicy

  • setCapacityPolicy(policy): void

  • Sets the action taken when appending an edge or node that would take the selection above its limit for that given type.

    Parameters

    • policy: string

      One of Selection.DISCARD_EXISTING (which removes the 0th entry from the list before insertion of the new value) or Selection.DISCARD_NEW.

    Returns void

setMaxEdges

  • setMaxEdges(_maxEdges): void

  • Sets the maximum number of edges the selection can hold. The action taken when appending an edge that would take the selection above its limit depends on the current capacityPolicy, which can be either Selection.DISCARD_EXISTING (the default) or Selection.DISCARD_NEW.

    Parameters

    • _maxEdges: number

    Returns void

setMaxGroups

  • setMaxGroups(_maxGroups): void

  • Sets the maximum number of groups the selection can hold. The action taken when appending a group that would take the selection above its limit depends on the current capacityPolicy, which can be either Selection.DISCARD_EXISTING (the default) or Selection.DISCARD_NEW.

    Parameters

    • _maxGroups: number

    Returns void

setMaxNodes

  • setMaxNodes(_maxNodes): void

  • Sets the maximum number of nodes the selection can hold. The action taken when appending a node that would take the selection above its limit depends on the current capacityPolicy, which can be either Selection.DISCARD_EXISTING (the default) or Selection.DISCARD_NEW.

    Parameters

    • _maxNodes: number

    Returns void

setMode

  • setMode(mode): void

  • Sets the selection's current mode, flushing any objects which do not match the given mode. If you switch to SelectionModes.isolated the entire selection is cleared, because it does not know what single supported type should be until something is subsequently added.

    Parameters

    • mode:
          | "mixed"
          | "isolated"
          | "nodesOnly"
          | "groupsOnly"

  • Sets whether not event firing is currently suspended

    Parameters

    • val: boolean

    Returns void

silently

  • silently(fn): void

  • Run the given function without firing any events.

    Parameters

    • fn: Function

    Returns void

toggle

  • toggle(obj, evtPipe?): any[]

  • Toggles the given object's membership in the current selection. If obj is a Path, then the individual members of the Path are toggled independently.

    Parameters

    • obj:
          | string
          | string[]
          | Base
          | Path
          | Base[]
          | Selection<Edge | Node | Group>

      Object(s) to add. May take many forms - a Group, Group Id, Node, Node Id, or Edge, or a list of these, or a Path.

    • OptionalevtPipe: any

    Returns any[]

unbind

  • unbind(eventOrListener?, listener?): EventGenerator

  • Unbind the given event listener, or all listeners. If you call this method with no arguments then all event listeners are unbound.

    Parameters

    • OptionaleventOrListener: string | Function

      Either an event name, or an event handler function

    • Optionallistener: Function

      If eventOrListener is defined, this is the event handler to unbind.
