This example demonstrates a character relationship query on the Doctor Who universe using the Cypher query language in Neo4j. It shows how the query identifies characters who are simultaneously allies of the Doctor and enemies of the Doctor, revealing a nuanced social dynamic. The visualization relies on Neo4j’s graph traversal capabilities, with the query starting at the Doctor node and traversing `ALLY_OF` and `ENEMY_OF` relationships to return connected character pairs. The rendering approach is not shown in the code, but the dataset originates from a public gist by CliffordAnderson, and the visualization would typically use a graph-based front-end library to display nodes and edges.

Graph Gist

This example demonstrates a simple graph visualization of two people and their database preferences. It shows nodes for "You" and "They," each linked via a `LIKE` relationship to database nodes representing Neo4j and eXistDB. The data comes from a Cypher query that creates the graph structure, and the visualization renders it using the D3.js library with a force-directed layout. Specifically, `d3.forceSimulation` drives node positioning, while SVG elements for circles and lines represent entities and relationships. The graph is rendered as an interactive network, highlighting the connections between the person nodes and their chosen database technologies.

Cypher examples for Coderfaire

These examples show how Cypher queries progressively explore Kevin Bacon’s acting network, from direct movie matches to multi-hop co-actor paths and even a four-degree link to Billy Crystal. The visualizations rely on the Neo4j Browser’s built-in graph rendering, which uses d3.forceSimulation for node positioning and link layout. Each query returns nodes and relationships that are drawn as labeled circles and directed edges, with actor names displayed when explicitly returned. The data comes from the gist’s embedded property-graph structure, with the final queries using variable-length path patterns to capture entire connection chains.

Description: A dataset that will enable Doctor Who fans to explore all of The Doctor’s Earth-based adventures and related time jumps throughout the Classic and New generations (including DW11 Smith Era). Plan on expanding to include Companion, Villain, & Monster data for each journey.

This visualization maps every Earth-based Doctor Who adventure from the Classic and New series onto an interactive timeline and map, plotting each episode’s departure and arrival dates to reveal the Doctor’s time jumps. The dataset, sourced from IconicImagery’s gist, includes fields such as season, actor, generation, episode title, place, and locale. The visualization uses a scatterplot-style layout with time on one axis and space on another, where each point is colored by actor and sized by the magnitude of the jump in years. Hovering over a point displays the episode title and locale details. The design supports quick comparison of journeys across eras while inviting deeper exploration of character-specific story arcs.

Graph Gist

This example shows a small graph of people and their database preferences, capturing two `Person` nodes connected by `LIKE` relationships to database nodes labeled `Database`, `NoSql`, and `Graph`. The visualization renders this graph data using D3.js, likely with a force-directed layout (`d3.forceSimulation`) to position nodes and links, and possibly `d3.geoPath` or standard SVG/CSS for shapes and labels. The source code, authored by CliffordAnderson and stored as a Gist, explicitly creates the nodes and relationships with Cypher, returning them for immediate display. The result emphasizes how graph structures and their labels can be directly mapped from query output to interactive visual elements.

Doctor Who Earth Time Travel Journeys

This visualization maps the Earth-bound journeys of the Doctor across all of time and space using a force-directed graph layout. Each node represents a location visited in the classic Doctor Who series, with edges connecting temporal jumps between episodes. The visualization uses a log-scaled timeline to handle the enormous range of TimeJumpYrs values, from thousands of years into the past to millions of years in the future. The graph is rendered in D3 v3 using SVG, with node color encoding the Doctor’s generation and node size likely encoding the magnitude of time jumps. Edges connect chronologically sequential destinations, revealing the narrative flow of the show. The timeline is interactive—users can brush or zoom to explore both the earliest journeys (such as trips to -100,000,000 BC) and the more recent visits to London, Paris, and the South Pole.

Graph Gist

This example renders a small Cypher query result as an interactive force-directed graph. It uses d3.forceSimulation to position nodes and links, displaying person and database entities with their LIKE relationships from the Neo4j sample data. The graph draws SVG circles and connecting lines, with labels for each node, and updates positions through the simulation's tick events.

Gist a55b95a43d04067df4c11d576bed3c42

This example demonstrates a graph database model for scholarly communications in theology, showing relationships between academic institutions, faculty, and the American Theological Library Association (ATLA). Built with Neo4j's Cypher query language, the visualization renders the schema and sample data as an interactive network graph. Using Neo4j's built-in graph visualization features, the code displays nodes for institutions like Princeton Theological Seminary and Drew University, connected by membership edges to the ATLA hub, while also including a faculty node for Clifford B. Anderson.

Neo4j REST example

This example demonstrates a graph visualization of a Neo4j query result, showing how a single person node (e.g., “Stanley Kubrick”) is returned and rendered as a node in a force-directed layout. The code issues a Cypher POST request to the Neo4j REST endpoint, then uses d3.forceSimulation to position the node and draw it with SVG circles and labels. The visualization focuses on the raw response data, displaying only the returned `a` object without additional graph traversal or styling beyond basic node rendering.
