How to make parent node

[emmrin]

Hello! I’m new to obsidian, and I’m trying to figure out how to make a parent node? I’ve been searching around but can’t find the answer I’m looking for, so I thought I’d just post and ask for help.
Thank you!

Do you mean a parent the graph?

I think so? In graph view, how one node will be large than the others. I know how to change the node sizes as a whole, but I’m looking to change the size of an individual node. I’ll provide an example picture.

See how one node is bigger? That’s what I’m trying to do.

“parent” and “node size” are very different things. You’re just asking about node size?

Some similar existing threads to look at. There might not be an existing easy solution yet. There is a plugin called Juggl that lets you do advanced customization to the graph, but I’ve never tried it. It seems beyond my needs.

Graph nodes size should also depend on word count in addition to no of links

In Graph view, the node size increases with increasing number of backlinks. But in such a case 2 notes having a huge difference in word count(say 10 and 100) have the same size. Wouldn’t it make sense to also take into account the word count to determine node size in Graph View?

Graph view node size scale multiplier

Sometimes when it is very important to me to distinguish between the nodes that only have one connection and the nodes that have like 5-10, these two nodes almost look identical in size. It may be helpful to have a slider or shortcut to increase and decrease the node size scale multiplier. This may allow you to quickly find what you were looking for, then simply return the multiplier to a more reasonable value. Thanks.

Toggle for how Node Sizes are Scaled in Local Graph

Nodes in the local graph are scaled by their depth from the selected note. I would love to have a toggle to scale by # of links. However, if others can think of other variables to scale by, perhaps there could be a dropdown box to select which one. This would apply to any of the nodes (e.g. Tags, Attachments), not just notes. My tags range from 1 to 82 links, so I’d like to see this reflected in the node size.

Graph View: Allow to Configure How Node-Size is Calculated

Dear Obsidian team, First off, thank you for making a software that I love to use every day. Coming from this love, I would like to make a request: Can we please have the ability to configure what variables are used to calculate and render the size of nodes in the graph-view? I believe the graph-view is one of the most important features of Obsidian. It has the potential to completely change how we discover, reason about and share new ideas. After figuring out how it currently works, adjust…

Generally, a node gets larger the more links it has.
