Lock and save nodes position in graph view would make the software number one in its category.
You could even use it as a geographical map…

The ability to pin nodes in graph view would be amazing. Having a toggle per node would be great - then the user can set specific nodes as fixed and let the graph flow around them.

+1, this would be of tremendous value to me
+1 - this would be a great feature.
Wondering if the request could be split up into two steps:
- Keep layout the same when there are no changes to nodes/edges
- Allow users to rearrange layout + save changes to layout.
I feel step 1 could be implemented relatively easily by using a seed for the layout of the graph. Would this already provide value for users who would like 2 as well?
PS. Linking to this thread which contains similar topics but has less activity.
PPS. I’m not sure how saving node positions would work. As new nodes/edges are created, the layout would have to change eventually, no? So perhaps fixing the position of just a few nodes (relative to the screen) could be a solution.

Support, this will greatly improve the role of obsidian’s graphview.
An additional point is that when switching from a large map to a small map, the relative position is still retained
(but the line segment size is adjusted without changing the overall look and feel. )
+1 — this would be a really valuable feature
