摘　　要：Graph visualization plays an important role in several fields,such as social media networks,protein-protein interaction networks,and traffic networks.A number of visualization design tools and programming toolkits have been widely used in graph-related applications.However,a key challenge remains in the high-efficiency visualization of large-scale graph data.In this study,we present NetV.js,an open-source and WebGL-based JavaScript library that supports the fast visualization of large-scale graph data(up to 50 thousand nodes and 1 million edges)at an interactive frame rate with a commodity computer.Experimental results demonstrate that our library outperforms existing toolkits(Sigma.js,D3.js,Cytoscape.js,and Stardust.js)in terms of performance.
