Cloud Soufflé - medialab/graph-recipes GitHub Wiki

This recipe renders the network as a PNG image looking like a cloud. It is somewhat similar to a heat map but tends to go wider and around the space occupied by the nodes. It emphasizes the global silhouette of the network and is useful to provide a non-intrusive basemap.
