05. Sigma

The sigma BlackBox is used to visualise a data graph; represented by interconnected nodes and edges, with the ability to drag the nodes around the space. It utilises the Sigma library.

http://sigmajs.org/

You can move the nodes around, and their positions will be saved.

Parameters

The parameters are as follows:

SigmaChart ( NodeIDField ; NodeLabelField ; NodeXField ; NodeYField ; NodeSizeField ; ShowLabelsSize ; NodeColourField ; NodeClickScript ; EdgeIDField ; EdgeNode1Field ; EdgeNode2Field ; EdgeLabelField )

Parameter	Description
NodeIDField	A field containing a unique ID for your node records Eg, "bb_data_schedules::id"
NodeLabelField	A field containing a label to display for your node records Eg, "bb_data_schedules::description"
NodeXField	A field containing an x-coordinate for your node records Eg, "bb_data_schedules::sigma_x"
NodeYField	A field containing a y-coordinate for your node records Eg, "bb_data_schedules::sigma_y"
NodeSizeField	A field containing a size for your node records Eg, "bb_data_schedules::sigma_size"
ShowLabelsSize	A number indicating the size of a node before the label is shown Eg, "3"
NodeColourField	A field containing the colour for your node records Eg, "bb_data_schedules::id"
NodeClickScript	A FileMaker script to be run when clicking a node Eg, "bb_data_schedules::id"
EdgeIDField	A field containing a unique ID for your edge records “g, "bb_data_links::id"
EdgeNode1Field	A field containing a the node ID that an edge is connected from Eg, "bb_data_links::id_source"
EdgeNode2Field	A field containing a the node ID that an edge is connected to Eg, "bb_data_links::id_target"
EdgeLabelField	A field containing a label to display for your edge records Eg, "bb_data_links::type"
