ndtv-d3 is an web-based interactive player app for animations of dynamic networks created with the ndtv R package. It takes JSON-formatted input files (normally produced by ndtv) describing the node positions, changing network relationships and graphic properties and displays them as a 'movie' illustrating the changes in a network object over time. The 'movie' is a zoomable, interactive SVG object with animation play controls and a scrub-able timeline for navigation.

The ndtv-d3 library was created by Greg Michalec and Skye Bender-deMoll for the statnet project funded by NICHD grant R01HD068395. Based on 'statnet' project software (http://statnetproject.org).

For a demo, please see http://michalgm.github.io/ndtv-d3

If the ndtv package is install in R, networks can be exported with

library(ndtv)  
data(short.stergm.sim)  
render.d3movie(short.stergm.sim)
