Lore

Current Version: 1.1.20 (Godzilla)

Teasers

Browsing the SureChEMBL database (containing > 12 million datapoints): Faerun.

Example

A basic fiddle See the examples folder for more details.

Installation

You can either download or clone this repository and use the JavaScript file in the dist folder, or you can use yarn to install the package lore-engine:

yarn add lore-engine

Building Lore

If you decide not to use the ready-to-go scripts in dist, you can (edit and) build the project by running:

npm install
gulp

Getting Started

A simple example can be found in the example folder. The example data file was downloaded from the website of the Berkeley Drosophila Transcription Network Project. It is a very small data set (N=6000) chosen because of the small file size (larger files can not be hosted on github).

CoordinatesHelper

The options for the coordinate helper are self-explanatory:

{
    position: new Lore.Vector3f(),
    axis: {
        x: {
            length: 50.0,
            color: Lore.Color.fromHex('#222222')
        },
        y: {
            length: 50.0,
            color: Lore.Color.fromHex('#222222')
        },
        z: {
            length: 50.0,
            color: Lore.Color.fromHex('#222222')
        }
    },
    ticks: {
        enabled: true,
        x: {
            count: 10,
            length: 5.0,
            offset: new Lore.Vector3f(),
            color: Lore.Color.fromHex('#1f1f1f')
        },
        y: {
            count: 10,
            length: 5.0,
            offset: new Lore.Vector3f(),
            color: Lore.Color.fromHex('#1f1f1f')
        },
        z: {

        }
    },
    box: {
        enabled: true,
        x: {
            color: Lore.Color.fromHex('#222222')
        },
        y: {
