Pin nodes - ElsaTam/obsidian-extended-graph GitHub Wiki

The pin feature allows you to fix file nodes at specific positions in your graph view.

Pin one node

You have different option to pin a single node:

  • Right-click on any file node to access the pin/unpin option from the contextual menu
  • Or enable the Radial menu (in the Inputs setting section) and access the pin action from there
  • Or use the combination Alt + right click on a node. The Alt modifier can be changed in the Inputs setting section

You can then unpin nodes the same way to allow them to move freely again

Pin selected nodes

See Select nodes.

In this example, the nodes corresponding to the property "Clan" (in a pentagon shape) have been pinned in a circle.

[!IMPORTANT] Make sure you save your state if you want to preserve the position of the nodes!
