Human vision process form, size, and color. The graph is only using two of these. I think that forms could enrich the graph a lot.
That way, you can define types and differentiate between them, like you can differentiate between a tree and a house, even if both are green and the same size.
P.S. Sorry if I duplicate someone else’s suggestion, this is my first post, and I have not explored this forum yet.
Option to add Obsidian graphs to a canvas
I’d love to be able to add filtered Obsidian graphs to my canvases.
Possible solution: There could be another option at the bottom of the canvas to add an Obsidian graph. When you choose the option, you are shown a search field to filter the graph; if you leave it empty, you are shown the global graph.
Page-Relative Local-Graph Filtering
Right now, you can only filter the local graph globally – the filter applies to all pages.
I’d find it useful if there was an option to also filter the local graph for individual pages separately such that, when I visit different pages, different filters are automatically applied.
How this could work
On a page, in the local graph menu, there is an option to add a local search field underneath the global search field. The local search field overrides the global one – while the local field is active, the global one is disabled for that page. Every time you visit the page, the local filter is automatically applied.
Cool idea! Maybe if there were presets that could be saved and made available to load in other notes. It kind of makes me think of this request: Convert graph filters/settings to query. I definitely like the idea of it remembering these different sets of values that were set with such care for various purposes.
Thanks.
Colored search results
The graph color groups essentially color search results, but the output is only shown on the graph. As an option, the graph color groups could also color the main search results (in the left side-menu).
Graph quick search/filtering
Pressing Ctrl + F on a page allows you to search within the page. Similarly (and intuitively), pressing Ctrl + F on the graph could open a search box that allows you to search within the graph.
Unlike the page search, the graph search box could have options:
Highlighting
Quick Filtering

Option to hide groups
I’d LOVE to be able to hide graph groups. Creating groups is tedious and high friction. Ideally, it should be a one time thing. Once created, being able to hide them opens up the possibility of quickly switching between color-coded filters. It enables a usage archetype.
Implementation idea: An eye icon next to each, just like in graphical editors.
Example usage:
Option to save graph instances
Right now, when you click on Open Graph View you get the graph view.
What if instead you were shown a menu from which you could choose from multiple graph views? Each view could be a separate instance of the graph, with its own filtering parameters and color groups.
Complementary feature: There could be an option to save the current graph instance and give it a name. These names would show up in the Graph View menu.
Optional feature: If it’s not too taxing on the system, there could be an option to have multiple different graph views open at the same time (eg one graph view with one color coding and another with a different color coding; thus, you’d be able to visualize the same data through multiple lenses).
You can Bookmark multiple Graph views (a different filter, settings, groups, etc.) and easily get back to it.
