UpSet.js

UpSet.js is a JavaScript re-implementation of UpSetR which itself is based on UpSet to create interactive set visualizations for more than three sets. The core library is written in React but provides also bundle editions for plain JavaScript use. The UpSetJS React component is implemented as a pure functional component solely depending on the given properties.

More details about UpSet.js can be found on the Medium article series about it:

1. UpSet.js — The UpSet.js Ecosystem
2. UpSet.js — JavaScript Tutorial
3. UpSet.js — Behind the (technical) Scenes

This monorepo contains following packages:

• @upsetjs/model the data model definition of UpSet.js

• @upsetjs/react the main UpSet.js React component

• @upsetjs/math utility package for computing stats

• @upsetjs/addons extensions to the React component for rendering boxplots

• @upsetjs/bundle zero dependency bundle of the react and addons component using Preact

• @upsetjs/plots VEGA plot helper to be linked with UpSet.js

• @upsetjs/app example application to explore datasets using UpSet.js with import and export features

• @upsetjs/vue vue wrapper based on the bundled version

In addition, there are the following sibling repositories and projects

• upsetjs_r R HTMLWidget wrapper around UpSet.js

• upsetjs_jupyter_widget Jupyter Widget wrapper around UpSet.js

• upsetjs_powerbi_visuals PowerBI Custom Visuals around UpSet.js

Usage and Installation

React

npm install @upsetjs/react react react-dom

import React from 'react';
import UpSetJS, { extractCombinations, ISetLike } from '@upsetjs/react';

const elems = [
  { name: 'A', sets: ['S1', 'S2'] },
  { name: 'B', sets: ['S1'] },
  { name: 'C', sets: ['S2'] },
  { name: 'D', sets: ['S1', 'S3'] },
];

const { sets, combinations } = extractCombinations(elems);

<UpSetJS sets={sets} combinations={combinations} width={500} height={300} />;

with stored selection

const UpSetJSSelection = (props: any) => {
  [selection, setSelection] = React.useState(null as ISetLike<any> | null);

  return <UpSetJS {...props} selection={selection} onHover={setSelection} />;
};

<UpSetJSSelection sets={sets} combinations={combinations} width={500} height={300} />;

Bundled version

npm install @upsetjs/bundle

import { extractCombinations, render } from '@upsetjs/bundle';

const elems = [
  { name: 'A', sets: ['S1', 'S2'] },
  { name: 'B', sets: ['S1'] },
  { name: 'C', sets: ['S2'] },
  { name: 'D', sets: ['S1', 'S3'] },
];

const { sets, combinations } = extractCombinations(elems);

render(document.body, { sets, combinations, width: 500, height: 300 });

with stored selection

let selection = null;

function onHover(set) {
  selection = set;
  rerender();
}

function rerender() {
  const props = { sets, combinations, width: 500, height: 300, selection, onHover };
  render(document.body, props);
}

rerender();

Venn Diagrams

For comparison and convenience reasons UpSet.js also has a Venn Diagram component for rendering two or three sets.

import React from 'react';
import { VennDiagram, extractSets, ISetLike } from '@upsetjs/react';

const elems = [
  { name: 'A', sets: ['S1', 'S2'] },
  { name: 'B', sets: ['S1'] },
  { name: 'C', sets: ['S2'] },
  { name: 'D', sets: ['S1', 'S3'] },
];

const sets = extractSets(elems);

<VennDiagram sets={sets} width={500} height={300} />;

with stored selection

const VennDiagramSelection = (props: any) => {
  [selection, setSelection] = React.useState(null as ISetLike<any> | null);

  return <VennDiagram {...props} selection={selection} onHover={setSelection} />;
};

<VennDiagramSelection sets={sets} width={500} height={300} />;

import { extractSets, renderVennDiagram } from '@upsetjs/bundle';

const elems = [
  { name: 'A', sets: ['S1', 'S2'] },
  { name: 'B', sets: ['S1'] },
  { name: 'C', sets: ['S2'] },
  { name: 'D', sets: ['S1', 'S3'] },
];

const sets = extractSets(elems);

renderVennDiagram(document.body, { sets, width: 500, height: 300 });

with stored selection

let selection = null;

function onHover(set) {
  selection = set;
  rerender();
}

function rerender() {
  const props = { sets, width: 500, height: 300, selection, onHover };
  renderVennDiagram(document.body, props);
}

rerender();

Karnaugh Maps

UpSet.js also has a variant of a Karnaugh Map for rendering set intersections in a dense matrix way.

import React from 'react';
import { KarnaughMap, extractSets, ISetLike } from '@upsetjs/react';

const elems = [
  { name: 'A', sets: ['S1', 'S2'] },
  { name: 'B', sets: ['S1'] },
  { name: 'C', sets: ['S2'] },
  { name: 'D', sets: ['S1', 'S3'] },
];

const sets = extractSets(elems);

<KarnaughMap sets={sets} width={550} height={300} />;

with stored selection

const KarnaughMapSelection = (props: any) => {
  [selection, setSelection] = React.useState(null as ISetLike<any> | null);

  return <KarnaughMap {...props} selection={selection} onHover={setSelection} />;
};

<KarnaughMapSelection sets={sets} width={550} height={300} />;

import { extractSets, renderKarnaughMap } from '@upsetjs/bundle';

const elems = [
  { name: 'A', sets: ['S1', 'S2'] },
  { name: 'B', sets: ['S1'] },
  { name: 'C', sets: ['S2'] },
  { name: 'D', sets: ['S1', 'S3'] },
];

const sets = extractSets(elems);

renderKarnaughMap(document.body, { sets, width: 550, height: 300 });

with stored selection

let selection = null;

function onHover(set) {
  selection = set;
  rerender();
}

function rerender() {
  const props = { sets, width: 550, height: 300, selection, onHover };
  renderKarnaughMap(document.body, props);
}

rerender();

Interactivity

By specifying onHover and selection UpSet.js is fully interactive. As an alternative there is also the onClick property.

Queries

Similar to the original UpSetR, UpSet.js allows to specify queries by a set of elements which are then highlighted in the plot. The first query is shown in full detail while others are shown using small indicators.

const queries = [
  { name: 'Q1', color: 'steelblue', elems: elems.filter(() => Math.random() > 0.7) },
  { name: 'Q2', color: 'red', elems: elems.filter(() => Math.random() > 0.8) },
];

render(document.body, { sets, width: 1000, height: 500, queries });

Addons

Similar to the original UpSet and UpSetR, UpSet allows to render boxplot for showing numerical aggregates of sets and set combinations.

import { extractSets, render, boxplotAddon } from '@upsetjs/bundle';

const elems = [
  { name: '1', sets: ['one', 'two', 'three'], value: Math.random() },
  { name: '2', sets: ['one', 'two'], value: Math.random() },
  { name: '3', sets: ['one'], value: Math.random() },
  { name: '4', sets: ['two'], value: Math.random() },
  { name: '5', sets: ['one', 'two', 'three'], value: Math.random() },
  { name: '6', sets: ['three'], value: Math.random() },
  { name: '7', sets: ['one', 'three'], value: Math.random() },
  { name: '8', sets: ['one', 'three'], value: Math.random() },
  { name: '9', sets: ['three'], value: Math.random() },
  { name: '10', sets: ['two', 'three'], value: Math.random() },
  { name: '11', sets: ['one'], value: Math.random() },
  { name: '12', sets: ['one', 'three'], value: Math.random() },
  { name: '13', sets: ['one', 'three'], value: Math.random() },
];
const sets = extractSets(elems);

render(document.body, {
  sets,
  width: 500,
  height: 300,
  setAddons: [boxplotAddon('value', elems)],
  combinationAddons: [boxplotAddon('value', elems, { orient: 'vertical' })],
});

Plots

Similar to the original UpSet and UpSetR, support plots showing histograms, scatterplots, bar charts, or pie charts of attributes of the elements can be created and linked.

The @upsetjs/plots package contains wrappers around VEGA plots which support selection and queries, to be easily linked with UpSet.js plots.

UpSet.js App

The UpSet.js App is an web application for exploring sets and set intersections. It is the counterpart to the original UpSet and UpSet2. The app is deployed at https://upset.js.org/app.

UpSetJS

The most relevant and required properties of the UpSetJS component are:

{
  width: number;
  height: number;

  sets: ISet<T>[];
  combinations?: ISetCombination<T>[] | GenerateCombinationOptions<T>;

  selection?: ISetLike<T> | readonly T[] | null;

  onHover?(selection: ISetLike<T> | null): void;
  onClick?(selection: ISetLike<T> | null): void;

  queries?: UpSetQuery<T>[];
}

Data

UpSetJS requires sets and optionally combinations of sets as input. There are some utility function to help creating the required data structures:

• extractSets<T extends { sets: string[] }>(elements: readonly T[]): ISet<T>[] given an array of elements where each is having a property called .sets containing a list of set names in which this element is part of. e.g. { sets: ['Blue Hair', 'Female']}. The return value is a list of sets in the required data structures and having a .elems with an array of the input elements.
• asSets<T, S extends { name: string; elems: readonly T[] }>(sets: readonly S[]): (S & ISet<T>)[] extends the given basic set objects (name and elems) with the required attributes for UpSetJS
• generateCombinations<T>(sets: ISets<T>, { type = 'intersection', min = 0, max = Infinity, empty = false } = {}): ISetCombination<T>[] one needs to generate the list of the combinations to show in case of customized sorting or filtering. This function takes the array of sets as input and computed all possible set intersections (aka. power set). The options allow to limit the generation to skip empty set combinations or enforce a minimum/maximum amount of sets in the set combinations. There are three types: intersection to generate set intersections, union for set unions, and distinctIntersection for set intersections that do not appear in any other set

Integration

Observable HQ

A ObservableHQ wrapper is located at upset-js

data = fetch(
  'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/upsetjs/upsetjs/main/packages/bundle/example/got.json'
).then(r => r.json())
}

import { extractSets, UpSetJSElement, generateIntersections } from '@sgratzl/upset-js';

sets = extractSets(data);

intersections = generateIntersections(sets);

viewof selection = UpSetJSElement(sets, intersections)

selection ? selection.elems.map((d) => d.name) : 'None';

ObservableHQ

An advanced example showing all datasets from the live UpSet demo is located at ObservableHQ

R/RMarkdown/RShiny HTMLWidget

A R wrapper using HTMLWidgets is located at upset_r. The API follows the building pattern using the chaining operator %>%. In contrast to the original UpsetR implementation it focusses on the UpSet plot itself only. However it supports interactivity either using custom Shiny events or HTMLWidgets Crosstalk. See also Shiny examples.

Release Policy

to simplify this monorepo together with its siblings the following strategy for versioning is used: Major and Minor versions should be in sync. Patch version are independent except the 10 potent. Thus, a next unified patch release should be increased to the next 10 potent.

e.g.,

upsetjs -> 0.5.0, upsetjs_r -> 0.5.0 good
upsetjs -> 0.5.2, upsetjs_r -> 0.5.3 good since 0.5.02 ~ 0.5.03
upsetjs -> 0.5.10, upsetjs_r -> 0.5.5 bad should be upsetjs_r -> 0.5.10, too
