addNode - Add a node

This function allows you to add a new node and its relations with the other nodes. You can definin the node properties like color, shape,.. to all of them. Parameters are given trough a $Settings array. To learn more about this please read the Format array guide.

Calling this function
addNode($NodeID,$Settings="")

$NodeID will be the unique ID of the node. We recommend to use numbers.


Settings array - Tune up your node!

It is possible to specify the following settings with this array.

Node name can be set with Name.
Node color can be set with R, G, B.
Node border color can be set with BorderR, BorderG, BorderB.
Surrounding color can be set with Surrounding.
Label background color can be set with BackgroundR,BackgroundRG,BackgroundB.
Shape can be set with Shape. (see below)
Size can be set with Shape.
Free zone can be set with FreeZone.
Nodes connections must be given in Connections.


The connections can be given as an array of IDs if they are multiple or with a single ID if there is online one.


Following shapes types are allowed :

NODE_SHAPE_CIRCLE, this will draw circular nodes.
NODE_SHAPE_SQUARE, this will draw box nodes.
NODE_SHAPE_TRIANGLE, this will draw triangular nodes.

 /* pChart library inclusions */
 include("class/pData.class.php");

 include("class/pSpring.class.php");
 include("class/pImage.class.php");

 /* Create the pChart object */
 $myPicture = new pImage(300,300);

 /* Create the background */

 $myPicture->setShadow(TRUE,array("X"=>2,"Y"=>2,"R"=>0,"G"=>0,"B"=>0,"Alpha"=>10));

 /* Create the pSpring object */
 $SpringChart = new pSpring();

 /* Create some nodes & relations */
 $SpringChart->addNode(0,array("Shape"=>NODE_SHAPE_SQUARE,"FreeZone"=>60,"Size"=>20,"NodeType"=>NODE_TYPE_CENTRAL));
 $SpringChart->addNode(1,array("Connections"=>"0"));
 $SpringChart->addNode(2,array("Connections"=>"0"));
 $SpringChart->addNode(3,array("Shape"=>NODE_SHAPE_TRIANGLE,"Connections"=>"1"));
 $SpringChart->addNode(4,array("Shape"=>NODE_SHAPE_TRIANGLE,"Connections"=>"1"));
 $SpringChart->addNode(5,array("Shape"=>NODE_SHAPE_TRIANGLE,"Connections"=>"1"));
 $SpringChart->addNode(6,array("Connections"=>"2"));
 $SpringChart->addNode(7,array("Connections"=>"2"));
 $SpringChart->addNode(8,array("Connections"=>"2"));

 /* Define the nodes color */
 $SpringChart->setNodesColor(0,array("R"=>215,"G"=>163,"B"=>121,"BorderR"=>166,"BorderG"=>115,"BorderB"=>74));
 $SpringChart->setNodesColor(array(1,2),array("R"=>150,"G"=>215,"B"=>121,"Surrounding"=>-30));
 $SpringChart->setNodesColor(array(3,4,5),array("R"=>216,"G"=>166,"B"=>14,"Surrounding"=>-30));
 $SpringChart->setNodesColor(array(6,7,8),array("R"=>179,"G"=>121,"B"=>215,"Surrounding"=>-30));

 /* Customize some relations */
 $SpringChart->linkProperties(0,1,array("R"=>255,"G"=>0,"B"=>0,"Ticks"=>2));
 $SpringChart->linkProperties(0,2,array("R"=>255,"G"=>0,"B"=>0,"Ticks"=>2));

 /* Render the spring chart */
 $Result = $SpringChart->drawSpring($myPicture);
 print_r($Result);

 /* Render the picture */
 $myPicture->Render("drawspring.png");
