Tulip plugins documentation¶
In this section, you can find some documentation regarding the C++ algorithm plugins bundled in the Tulip software but also with the Tulip Python modules installable through the pip tool. In particular, an exhaustive description of the input and output parameters for each plugin is given. To learn how to call all these algorithms in Python, you can refer to the Applying an algorithm on a graph section. The plugins documentation is ordered according to their type.
Warning
If you use the Tulip Python bindings trough the classical Python interpreter, some plugins
(Color Mapping, Convolution Clustering, File System Directory, GEXF, SVG Export, Website)
require the tulipgui module to be imported before they can be called as they use Qt under the hood.

Alpha Mapping¶
Description¶
Map metric values to alpha component of graph element colors. In other words, it enables to compute the graph elements transparency according to the values stored in a numeric property of a graph.
Parameters¶
| name | type | default | direction | description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| input property | tlp.NumericProperty |
viewMetric | input | The input numeric property from which to compute alpha mapping |
| target | tlp.StringCollection |
nodes | input | Whether alpha values are computed for nodes or edges |
| type | tlp.StringCollection |
linear | input | That parameter defines the type of alpha mapping to perform. For the linear case, the minimum value of the input numeric property is mapped to a minimum alpha value picked by the user, the maximum value is mapped to a maximum alpha value picked by the user, and a linear interpolation is used between both to compute the associated alpha of the graph element color. For the logarithmic case, input numeric properties values are first mapped in the [1, +inf[ range. Then the log of each mapped value is computed and used to compute the associated alpha value of the graph element color trough a linear interpolation between 0 and the log of the mapped maximum value of graph elements. If uniform, this is the same except for the interpolation: the values are sorted, numbered, and a linear interpolation is used on those numbers (in other words, only the order is taken into account, not the actual values). |
| min alpha | unsigned integer | 0 | input | The minimum alpha value (between 0 and 255) to map on graph elements colors |
| max alpha | unsigned integer | 255 | input | The maximum alpha value (between 0 and 255) to map on graph elements colors |
Calling the plugin from Python¶

# get a dictionnary filled with the default plugin parameters values
# graph is an instance of the tlp.Graph class

# set any input parameter value if needed
# params['input property'] = ...
# params['target'] = ...

# if the plugin declare any output parameter, its value can now be retrieved in the 'params' dictionnary
Color Mapping¶
Description¶
Colorizes the nodes or edges of a graph according to the values of a given property.
Parameters¶
| name | type | default | direction | description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| type | tlp.StringCollection |
linear Values for that parameter: linear uniform enumerated logarithmic |
input | If linear, logarithmic or uniform, the input property must be a numeric property. For the linear case, the minimum value is mapped to one end of the color scale, the maximum value is mapped to the other end, and a linear interpolation is used between both to compute the associated color. For the logarithmic case, graph elements values are first mapped in the [1, +inf[ range. Then the log of each mapped value is computed and used to compute the associated color of the graph element trough a linear interpolation between 0 and the log of the mapped maximum value of graph elements. If uniform, this is the same except for the interpolation: the values are sorted, numbered, and a linear interpolation is used on those numbers(in other words, only the order is taken into account, not the actual values). Finally, if enumerated, the input property can be of any type . Each possible value is mapped to a distinct color without any specific order. |

Implements the H3 layout technique for drawing large directed graphs as node-link diagrams in 3D hyperbolic space. That algorithm can lay out much larger structures than can be handled using traditional techniques for drawing general graphs because it assumes a hierarchical nature of the data. It was first published as: H3: Laying out Large Directed Graphs in 3D Hyperbolic Space . Tamara Munzner. Proceedings of the 1997 IEEE Symposium on Information Visualization, Phoenix, AZ, pp 2-10, 1997. The implementation in Python (MIT License) has been written by BuzzFeed (https://github.com/buzzfeed/pyh3).
