📊 NMSLIB visualization tool

Installation

Install client via pip. Ideally, nmslib-viz is well supported for Python >= 3.7.

pip3 install nmslib-viz --no-binary nmslib

The --no-binary option is important for a better CPU performance.

Usage

Just run it like this:

nmslib-viz INDEX_FILE_PATH [--number_points NUMBER_POINTS]

Arguments:

• INDEX_FILE_PATH: String pointing to the NMSLIB file path. There has to be the additional .dat file for the index, the one that is created when uses the save_data=True option in the saveIndex() function. For example: index.nmslib and index.nmslib.dat need to exist but only index.nmslib has to be provided as this parameter.
• NUMBER_POINTS: (optional) Number of points as a maximum to plot from the NMSLIB index data, where has to be 1 at least. Default value: 1000.
