For those wanting to get a taste of creating Cytoscape.js graphs using SWI-Prolog read Convert facts to GraphViz dot file using DCGs then find and work the tutorials in the Cytoscape.js blog.
The tutorials seem to be dated and gloss over some needed points so they are not a straight forward following the tutorial, you will have to draw upon your knowledge of HTML, JavaScript, CSS, JSON and SVG to get them to work.
I have completed the first tutorial: Getting started with Cytoscape.js, and currently working through Visualizing Glycolysis with Cytoscape.js.
In searching for a way to use graphs more interactively ran across animations with D3. D3 has animations, and it appears Cytoscape.js might have something similar, but have not found a similar working example just yet.
Check out this D3 animation and then think about teaching Prolog to new users needing a visual animated example as an answer and you start to see how much these become useful.
Here is an example of a Cytoscape.js animation: Animated BFS

Personal notes
The Cytoscape.js tutorial demo gives a very simple demonstration of what can be done with Cytoscape.js. The code in in a GitHub repository that is designed for adding custom elements systems and Stylesheets and/or layouts.
Note: Using background-image one has to be sensitive to: CORS header âAccess-Control-Allow-Originâ missing.
Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS)
node.js - Useful for running JavaScript as a server.
node.js http-server is a simple, zero-configuration command-line http server. It is powerful enough for production usage, but itâs simple and hackable enough to be used for testing, local development, and learning.
Steps to test Cytoscape.js tutorials on a local machine. Think workaround to avoid CORS errors.
- Download and install node.js
Download | Node.js - Install http-server package
npm install --global http-server - Change to directory that is the root of the files for the web site
- Create batch file to set Windows Path and start http-server
SET PATH="C:\Program Files (x86)\nodejs";"C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\npm";"C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\http-server"
http-server --cors
Start http-server by running batch file
http_server.bat
Using Internet browser access web pages
http://127.0.0.1:8080
This is also useful for access individual image files to make sure they load and display, e.g.
http://127.0.0.1:8080/glucose.svg
[Mon Aug 24 2020 15:03:50 GMT-0400 (Eastern Daylight Time)] "GET /glucose.svg" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko"
When running the Node.js http-server it will list actions and errors in the Windows console.

See: Use a source map
Cytoscape.js can import/export the elements as JSON (cy.json()) and supports two different formats (ref)
- array of collections
- array of elements
NB The nodes for a graph are AFAIK not accessible from from an Internet Browser console. They are obviously accessible in from JavaScript of the source document.
To export the cytoscape graph as JSON
- Create a button in the HTML body tag
<input type='button' id='advance' value='Export'>
- Add a listener event for the button. This goes within
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function ()
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function () {
var toJSONButton = document.getElementById('advance');
toJSONButton.addEventListener('click', function () {
var result = toJsonButton();
});
}
- Add handler for listener. This goes within
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function ()
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function () {
function toJsonButton() {
var cyFlatJson = cy.json(true);
var cyGroupJson = cy.json(false);
console.log(JSON.stringify(cyFlatJson));
console.log(JSON.stringify(cyGroupJson));
}
});
Clicking on the Export button will write two strings to the browser console. The browser console is accessible by clicking F12 in an open Internet browser.

When using SWI-Prolog dicts to represent JSON one may run into a few inconsistencies with converting back and forth between JSON and SWI-Prolog dicts. So to help me understand how to do it consistently I created a round robin predicate with examples.

% operator: :
% Defines name-value paris.
% Note: {"key":"value"} is valid JSON
% However {key:value} is not a valid SWI-Prolog dict. The dict requires a tag.
%
% ?- example(2).
% object{key:value}
% {"key":"value"}
% true.
example(2) :-
Dict = object{ key:value },
print_term(Dict,[]),

% operator: ,
% Combines same types.
%
% ?- example(3).
% object{key1:value1,key2:value2}

example(3) :-
Dict = object{ key1:value1, key2:value2 },

FYI
If you had not posted a reference to Cytoscape.js many months back I would not have been using it today. Thanks! 
Feel free to edit and add to the Wiki page. I donât know how much more you know about using Cytoscape.js than me, but if you know much more, feel free to take the lead on this and rewrite the Wiki as you see fit or start a separate one.
This is some prototype code along the way for the proof of concept. It still requires a few manual steps but since prototype code is useful for converting into tutorials because it works and doesnât drop all of the moving parts in the final version it is posted here.

To see the graph just open index.html with an Internet browser.
In Windows 10 I just double click on index.html within File Explorer.
I know it is not pretty but it was not meant to be pretty at this point, it is a proof of concept.

Another example.
This one passes the data as JSON and not as JSON wrapped with a JavaScript variable. This is important because JSON is much easier to validate as input when being accepted for use on a web site. With SWI-Prolog the validation of the JSON can be done with DCGs and quasiquotations. (ref)
Uses
a. JavaScript promises.
b. JavaScript fetch
This has two buttons that will display data in the Internet browser console. F12 for Chrome, FireFox or Edge.
- Show the same JSON data used by cytoscpae()
- Demonstrates how to select values from the Cytoscape.js objects using JavaScript array map
This is just code for demonstration purposes; it has not been enhanced for production use.
Since this code uses JavaScript fetch, a server is required to pass the files to the Internet browser. If you are on Windows and install node.js you can start the server by clicking on http_server.lnk, then access the page as noted by the node.js startup messages.

While learning how to use ChatGPT with coding created a better base set of code and files for my Cytoscape.js with SWI-Prolog example.
The code is not in an expandable text section as that hides it from search indexing and the code needs to be found via a search.
Note: The directory C:/Users/Groot is just an example you can choose another directory just make sure that files can be created and written in the directory by the user.
This examples needs an HTML server. To start the server:
Welcome to SWI-Prolog (threaded, 64 bits, version 8.5.15)
...
?- working_directory(_,'C:/Users/Groot').
true.
?- [server].
% Started server at http://localhost:8080/
true.
Then using an internet browser: http://localhost:8080/london_tube.html
Here are the needed files.
File: server.pl

Just copy one here. There is one installed for SWI-Prolog that works if you need one.
There are three JSON files used with Cytoscape.js and are created using london_tube.pl and cytoscape.pl.

Uninstall.exefrom the SWI-Prolog directory, e.g.C:\Program Files\swipl - Install SWI-Prolog again.
Donât know why this worked but it did.
