Unresolved nodes

Unresolved nodes are nodes created by unresolved links. By default, they are dislayed with some transparency. With the settings "Border of unresolved nodes", you can choose to display only a bordered circle. The thickness of the border will be defined by the selected value between 0 (excluded, but would correspond to zero border) and 1 (full disk). You can leave the setting empty if you want to keep the default.

In the example below, a value of 0.1 is used.

Invert arrows

The "invert arrows" feature allows you to invert the arrows on links between nodes, changing how relationships are visually represented in your graph. When enabled, link arrows will point in the opposite direction from the default behavior.

[!WARNING] If you use statistical visualization, this doesn't affect them. You have to enable the corresponding option for the statistics computations.

Color link based on source

The color of a link is updated to match the node source (or one of them, is the link is bidirectional).

Spread arcs

If you have arcs on your graph (for tags or properties), this option will distribute colored arcs around nodes circumferences to utilize available space more effectively. It is particularly useful for nodes with multiple tags or properties, ensuring all arcs remain visible and distinguishable.

Weight arc length

Adjusts arc lengths based on the frequency of their associated values. When enabled, more common tags/properties get longer arcs, while less common ones get shorter arcs.

Requirement: "Spread arcs" must be enabled for this feature to function

In the below screenshots, the note Ruth Shaw has 3 times the tag #cultist and only once the tags #hero and #people.

Animate dots on links

Hovering over a node triggers animated dots that flow along all connected links, showing the direction of information flow.

Horizontal legend

Enable this option to display the legend block horizontally at the bottom of the graph view instead of vertically on the side.
