Toggle the visibility of groups and subgroups

[josdejong]

It would be useful to implement a property visible for groups in the Timeline, similar to that of Graph2D, so you can toggle visibility of individual groups.

I have something similar implemented in mine. Each group has a display attribute, that can be toggled through a form input, among other things. And then I just change the groups the timeline displays based off that:

    var list = groups.get({
    filter: function(item) {
        return (item.display == "shown");
    }
    })

    timeline.setGroups(list);

Hey!
Related to this issue, is it possible to toggle the visibility of node and edge groups in a network?
Thanks & cheers

Hi Luka,

The network module is separate from the timeline module but to answer your question you can take a look at issue #140. You can combine the answer there (set color to rgba(0,0,0,0)) and combine that with the examples on groups (27, 28, 29) and use that to change color settings of groups to hide what your what.

Regards,

Alex

Edit: if this is still an issue for you, could you make a new issue so we can discuss the network module separately?

Hello Alex,
I further investigated the issue and for now, your suggested solution to set the bg color to the color of the canvas, is enough.
Thank you :)

Hi,

Try rgba(0,0,0,0) As color. That make them transparent. It's a bit cleaner
because you wouldn't have to change your code if you change the background.

Hi,

Over the last year a lot of feature requests have been made. We have just introduced our new website which has a list of the requested features. We have placed this request on that list.

The list can be found here:
http://visjs.org/featureRequests.html

An explaination of the new system can be found here:
http://visjs.org/blog.html#New\ website\ for\ vis.js!

I would like to stress that this does not mean we abandon this request. Discussion here will continue if needed on this feature but we will close it to keep our Github issue page more of a bug-todo list.

Future feature requests will still be made here and then added to the website by us.

Regards,

Alex

@mojoaxel I just ran into the need for this feature. If you don't mind, i'd like to take a shot at implementing this.
