I am trying to build a small application via d3plus.js. The aim is to use network visualisation to show a series of nodes representing pdf files. When the node is clicked a window showing the pdf should occur.
I figured out how to use the window.open() function and it works if I write the path directly into the window.open() function (fx "docs/somepdf.pdf").
My problem is now to pass the path string from the sample_data to the window.open function.
Can anyone pleas tell me what I am doing wrong here?
<script src="//d3plus.org/js/d3.js"></script>
<script src="//d3plus.org/js/d3plus.js"></script>
<div id="viz"></div>
<script>
// create list of node positions
var sample_data = [
{"name": "alpha", "size": 10, "path": "docs/Tan - 1999 - Text mining The state of the art and the challeng.pdf"},
{"name": "beta", "size": 12, "path": ""},
{"name": "gamma", "size": 30, "path": ""},
{"name": "delta", "size": 26, "path": ""},
{"name": "epsilon", "size": 12, "path": ""},
{"name": "zeta", "size": 26, "path": ""},
{"name": "theta", "size": 11, "path": ""},
{"name": "eta", "size": 24, "path": ""}
]
var connections = [
{"source": "alpha", "target": "beta"},
{"source": "alpha", "target": "gamma"},
{"source": "beta", "target": "delta"},
{"source": "beta", "target": "epsilon"},
{"source": "zeta", "target": "gamma"},
{"source": "theta", "target": "gamma"},
{"source": "eta", "target": "gamma"}
]
// instantiate d3plus
var visualization = d3plus.viz()
.container("#viz")
.type("network")
.edges(connections)
.size("size")
.id("name")
.tooltip(["name", "size"]).mouse({
"move": false, // key will also take custom function
"click": function(){window.open("path", '_blank', 'fullscreen=yes')}
})
.draw()
</script>
The problem is that you provide "path" as a string and not as an attribute of the node.
Try to change your mouse
method to:
.mouse({
"move": false,
"click": function(node){window.open(node.path, '_blank', 'fullscreen=yes')}
})
Take a look at the similar working example: http://jsfiddle.net/v1fvhpvx/14/
