Configure Features

Access the plugin settings to select the features you want to use:

• Tags: Use tags found in notes to filter graph nodes.
• Properties: Filter nodes based on selected properties. Inline properties ([type:: plugin]) are supported if you use Dataview.
• Link Types: Assign link types using properties. Inline properties ([subject:: [graph](/ElsaTam/obsidian-extended-graph/wiki/graph)]) are supported if you use Dataview.
• Images: Add images to nodes if a property (e.g., image) in the frontmatter contains a link to an image. You can customize the property key.
• and others

Save your graph settings

Open the graph view. When you will enable the plugin, you will be switched to the default state. By default, this state doesn't contain any saved settings and will be like a fresh new graph. If you want to keep your current graph settings:

1. Open the graph control panel
2. Expends the Extended Graph "Options" section
3. Click "Save for default state"

Toggle plugin

By default, the plugin is disabled for new graphs to prevent performance issues. To activate it:

1. Click the button in the graph view.
2. If the graph contains too many nodes, the plugin will not enable itself. Adjust the node limit in settings (see Performances).

Filter your graph

Display the legend by clicking the icon. From there, you can toggle various links, tags, and properties according to your configured settings.

Save your state

Adjust the graph settings and filters using the interactive legend. Once you've configured a state you want to preserve, open the state panel ( icon) and save it as a new state by clicking the + button. Enter a name, confirm, and your current state will be saved so that you can quickly revisit anytime.

⚠️ Switching to a new state without saving changes will discard any unsaved settings.
