Introduction

To display a network, you need rendering information. This information defines how to display network data.
You can configure a network either through a CSS configuration file or through the API, the easiest and preferred way being the CSS configuration. You also have the possibility to load a project file which combines the CSS configuration and the network data.
A network configuration relates to one network only. It defines the behavior and properties of the network component as well as the behavior and some properties of any representation object created in the network model. (See The model for more information about features like representation objects and network model.)
You can customize the network adapter (filters, node and link factories, for example), the network view (toolbar, background, interactors, for example) and the network objects.
