## What is G6

[G6](https://github.com/antvis/g6) is a graph visualization engine, which provides a set of basic mechanisms, including rendering, layout, analysis, interaction, animation, and other auxiliary tools. G6 aims to simplify the relationships, and help people to obtain the insight of relational data.

Developers are able to build graph visualization **analysis** applications or graph visualization **modeling** applications easily.

> Powerful Layouts

## Features

- Abundant Built-in Items: Nodes and edges with free configurations;
- Steerable Interactions: More than 10 basic interaction behaviors ;
- Powerful Layout: More than 10 layout algorithms;
- Convenient Components: Outstanding ability and performance;
- Friendly User Experience: Complete documents for different levels of user requirements. TypeScript supported.

G6 concentrates on the principle of 'good by default'. In addition, the custom mechanism of the item, interation behavior, and layout satisfies the customazation requirements.

```js
import G6 from '@antv/g6';

const data = {
  nodes: [
    {
      id: 'node1',
      label: 'Circle1',
      x: 150,
      y: 150,
    },
    {
      id: 'node2',
      label: 'Circle2',
      x: 400,
      y: 150,
    },
  ],
  edges: [
    {
      source: 'node1',
      target: 'node2',
    },
  ],
};

const graph = new G6.Graph({
  container: 'container',
  width: 500,
  height: 500,
  defaultNode: {
    shape: 'circle',
    size: [100],
    color: '#5B8FF9',
    style: {
      fill: '#9EC9FF',
      lineWidth: 3,
    },
    labelCfg: {
      style: {
        fill: '#fff',
        fontSize: 20,
      },
    },
  },
  defaultEdge: {
    style: {
      stroke: '#e2e2e2',
    },
  },
});

graph.data(data);
graph.render();
```
