Hey all, been really enjoying using Obsidian and Quartz for notetaking, research and publishing. This is mostly an aesthetic/technical question, so I figured this could be a good forum section for it, but happy to move it somewhere else if there is a better place.
I’ve been adding some new components to my Quartz publication, and I think it would be cool to try to visualize the global graph (i.e. not just the local graph in the vanilla Quartz Graph.tsx component) in a particular way, namely in the shape of my logo.
I thought one way to go about doing this, would be to set some kind of custom gravity distribution, i.e. instead of having the center be a source of gravity, that gravity can be spread across the contours of my logo. I’ve been using Perplexity and Cursor to help me write this, but not having any luck so far. I’m also not much of a programmer, so I’m in over my head in terms of understanding this stuff. That said, I was able to have perplexity create multiple new Quartz components for me, specifically AuthorName.tsx, PublishDate.tsx, and LicenseInfo.tsx.
So I guess I’d appreciate a sense check from some of the more seasoned knowledge graph folks here. Is this custom gravity map a viable strategy for what I’m trying to do? Or is there a better way?
For reference, I’d like the nodes in the global view of the knowledge graph to be arranged according to the contours of this logo, roughly
