     Tooltips in Lightning # ##
Setup # In[1]: import os from lightning import Lightning from numpy import random, asarray # ## Connect to server # In[2]: lgn = Lightning(ipython=True, host='http://public.lightning-viz.org') # ##
Turning on tooltips # Many plot types let you specify tooltips with the `labels` argument and the `tooltips=True` setting. First, turn on the setting for a simple scatter plot, and try clicking a point -- you should see it's x and y value appear above. # In[3]: x = random.rand(10) y = random.rand(10) lgn.scatter(x, y, size=10, tooltips=True) # Now let's try adding explicit text labels. We'll make labels maked on random group assignments. # In[4]: x = random.rand(10) y = random.rand(10) g = (random.rand(10) * 5).astype('int') lgn.scatter(x, y, size=10, labels=['group ' + str(i) for i in g], tooltips=True, group=g) # ##
Labeling graph vertices # A common use case for tooltips is in labeling graphs. Here we'll make a simple force network and label the vertices based on a group assignment. # In[5]: mat = random.rand(25,25) mat[mat<0.8] = 0 group = (random.rand(25) * 5).astype('int') labels = ['vertex ' + str(g) for g in group] lgn.force(mat, labels=labels, group=group)
