InstancedLinesData

SoA for a batch of instanced lines (e.g. network links); straight, or bent via bends.

Properties

bends?

optional bends?: Float32Array<ArrayBufferLike>

Optional per-line bend (#104 N6c): the quadratic-bezier control offset ⟂ to the chord, as a fraction of chord length (0/absent ⇒ straight). Length count.

colors

colors: Uint8Array

Defined in: core/backend.ts:161

RGBA bytes per line, length 4 * count.

count

count: number

Defined in: core/backend.ts:202

endOffsetsChanged?

optional endOffsetsChanged?: Uint32Array<ArrayBufferLike>

Defined in: core/backend.ts:201

The instances whose end offsets were rewritten in place since the last emit (#509), as flat [start, end) ranges, uploaded alone while the arrays are the ones the layer holds (see InstancedCirclesData.offsetsChanged).

fade?

optional fade?: Float32Array<ArrayBufferLike>

Defined in: core/backend.ts:190

Indexed draw only: a per-instance alpha multiplier (the cross-fade band); absent = 1. Length count.

groups?

optional groups?: Float32Array<ArrayBufferLike>

Defined in: core/backend.ts:174

Per-instance highlight group (#162): the link’s source node id, matched against u_hoverGroup / used to index the selected set so the vertex shader recolours a highlighted node’s links. Length count.

groups2?

optional groups2?: Float32Array<ArrayBufferLike>

Defined in: core/backend.ts:177

The link’s target node id (#162) — the OTHER endpoint, so an undirected hover matches incident links on either side; -1/absent for directed links (matched on groups/source alone). Length count.

index?

optional index?: Float32Array<ArrayBufferLike>

Defined in: core/backend.ts:187

Indexed draw (#447): with index, the style arrays above (everything but sources/targets, groups/groups2/selected included) are instead per-edge tables of tableCount entries, kept resident on the GPU and re-uploaded only when an array reference changes; index lists the edges to draw — count of them, one instance each, whose pick id is its edge id — and sources/targets stay per instance (the listed edges’ ends, which move with the layout). Edge ids must be below 2^24 (float-exact).

samples?

optional samples?: number

Defined in: core/backend.ts:171

Path samples (M) for the strip — 2 (straight, default) up to ~16–32 for a smooth bend. A draw setting, not per-instance; bent layers raise it, straight layers keep 2 to stay cheap at scale.

selected?

optional selected?: Uint8Array<ArrayBufferLike>

Defined in: core/backend.ts:179

Per-instance selected flag (0/1) for shader-driven dim/recolour (#162). Length count.

sourceOffsets?

optional sourceOffsets?: Float32Array<ArrayBufferLike>

Defined in: core/backend.ts:197

Optional per-instance offsets of the two ends (#509), in the layer’s size units: an end is drawn at project(P) + offset px in screen mode and at P + offset in world mode; the bend and the setbacks follow the offset ends. Length 2 * count each; absent ⇒ no offset, with no buffer and no upload. Uploaded only when the array is a new object. Plain draws only: an indexed draw (index) takes no offsets.
