Question 1

What do I actually receive after purchasing?

Accepted Answer

You get access to copy the Vega JSON spec directly from this page. Paste it into Deneb inside Power BI Desktop and the visual is live — no file downloads needed.

Question 2

What is Deneb?

Accepted Answer

Deneb is a free custom visual for Power BI that lets you render Vega and Vega-Lite specs inside your reports. Install it once from AppSource in Power BI Desktop, then paste in any spec.

Question 3

How do I add this to my report?

Accepted Answer

1. Add a Deneb visual to your report canvas.
2. Click Edit in the visual toolbar.
3. Paste the JSON spec into the Vega editor tab.
4. Click Apply — the visual renders instantly, no data binding needed.

Question 4

Does it need to be connected to a data source?

Accepted Answer

No. The visual is fully self-contained — it requires no data fields, measures, or connections in your report.

Question 5

Does the drag and mouse repulsion work inside Power BI?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All interactivity — drag, mouse repulsion, and pause — runs entirely within the Deneb visual and works in both Power BI Desktop and Power BI Service.

Question 6

Can I customise the particle count, colours, or connection distance?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The spec exposes named signals at the top (particleCount, connectionDistance, mouseRepelRadius) that you can edit directly in the Deneb JSON editor.

Question 7

Can I use this in client reports or commercially?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Once purchased, you can use the visual in any report for personal or commercial use. You may not resell or redistribute the raw JSON spec itself.
