Customizing the Graph

Note
|
To fully understand this chapter, familiarity with the graph implementation of yFiles for HTML as introduced in the graph model chapter, is important. |
In this chapter, we describe several ways to customize the graph and its elements. The sections are stand-alone and do not depend on each other. We recommend reading the sections that are currently of interest and returning later for more information.
