Agency Swarm provides two visualization methods:

1. **`visualize()`** - Creates interactive HTML files
2. **`get_agency_graph()`** - Returns ReactFlow-compatible JSON

<Tabs>
<Tab title="HTML Visualization">

## `visualize()`

Creates a self-contained HTML file with interactive agency visualization.

```python
def visualize(
    self,
    output_file: str = "agency_visualization.html",
    include_tools: bool = True,
    open_browser: bool = True
) -> str
```

### Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
| `output_file` | `str` | `"agency_visualization.html"` | Path to save HTML file |
| `include_tools` | `bool` | `True` | Whether to include agent tools |
| `open_browser` | `bool` | `True` | Whether to open in browser |

### Example

```python
from agency_swarm import Agency, Agent, function_tool

@function_tool
def analyze_data(data: str) -> str:
    """Analyze data"""
    return f"Analysis: {data}"

analyst = Agent(
    name="Analyst",
    instructions="You analyze data.",
    tools=[analyze_data]
)

manager = Agent(
    name="Manager",
    instructions="You coordinate work."
)

agency = Agency(
    manager,
    communication_flows=[(manager, analyst)],
    name="Analysis Agency"
)

# Create visualization
html_file = agency.visualize()
print(f"Saved to: {html_file}")
```

</Tab>
<Tab title="ReactFlow Integration">

## `get_agency_graph()`

Returns ReactFlow-compatible JSON data for custom frontend integration.

```python
def get_agency_graph(
    self,
    include_tools: bool = True
) -> dict[str, Any]
```

### Returns

```python
{
    "nodes": [
        {
            "id": "Manager",
            "type": "agent",
            "position": {"x": 100, "y": 50},
            "data": {
                "label": "Manager",
                "description": "Agent description",
                "isEntryPoint": True,
                "toolCount": 0
            }
        }
    ],
    "edges": [
        {
            "id": "Manager->Analyst",
            "source": "Manager",
            "target": "Analyst",
            "type": "communication"
        }
    ]
}
```

### Node Types

- **Agent nodes**: `type: "agent"` with agent metadata
- **Tool nodes**: `type: "tool"` with parent agent reference

### Edge Types

- **Communication**: `type: "communication"` between agents
- **Ownership**: `type: "owns"` from agent to tool

## Frontend Integration

Expose `get_agency_graph()` in your API, then use the JSON directly in React:

```tsx
import ReactFlow from 'reactflow';

const agencyData = await fetch('/your-graph-endpoint').then(r => r.json());

function AgencyVisualization() {
  return (
    <div style={{ height: '600px' }}>
      <ReactFlow
        nodes={agencyData.nodes}
        edges={agencyData.edges}
        fitView
      />
    </div>
  );
}
```
