When I visit the documentation for the "Replace Data" example, I see a JSFiddle for it. That example changes the data dynamically with the "replaceData()" function and it seems to work fine for me. See here: https://jsfiddle.net/egd1kj9x/
Maybe you could copy that example and work from there to figure out what's different between the example and what you're trying to do?
Here's the example in full:
var randomSeed = 10; // this can be changed to generate different data sets
function getRandomNumber() {
var x = Math.sin(randomSeed++) * 10000;
return x - Math.floor(x);
}
var nextNodeId = 0;
chart = null;
function buildData() {
var nodes = [];
var links = [];
var i;
var numNodes = 10;
for (i = 0; i < numNodes; i++) {
nodes.push({ "id": i, "loaded": true });
}
//make some random links
for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
var from = Math.floor(getRandomNumber() * numNodes);
var to = Math.floor(getRandomNumber() * numNodes);
links.push({ "id": i + "_" + from + "_" + to, "from": from, "to": to });
}
chart.replaceData({ "nodes": nodes, "links": links });
}
chart = new NetChart({
style: {
node: {
display: "text",
fillColor: "rgba(47,195,47,0.9)",
},
link: {
fillColor: "rgba(86,185,247,0.4)"
}
},
container: document.getElementById("demo"),
area: { height: 350 }
});
buildData();
var intervalHandle = setInterval(buildData, 2400);
function disposeDemo() {
window.clearInterval(intervalHandle);
disposeDemo = null;
intervalHandle = null;
}
