Lessons 4: A Simple Example of How to Script a Hyperglyph Visualization
In this lesson I offer source code in C, Python, and Jupyter Notebooks to generate your own simple visualization. This example includes most of the main features of ANTz hyperglyph visualization. It plots 10 hyperglyphs randomly in space. Each glyph includes multiple parent-child 'branch levels', color-coding, multiple geometry types, and includes links (edges) and metadata 'tags'.
