Proposal
Implement a structured graph view that lets you create a graph where nodes are persisted in-place regardless of cross-link status.
- Let the user to change the position of a persisted node.
- Let the user to specify a default flow (horizontal, vertical, parent) for nodes that are not manually positioned.
Implement a local graph view that lets you view nodes based on the structured graph view.
- Let the user view from a node, or the nodes mentioned (see related feature requests).
A human can only focus on one thing at any given moment, so provide the following features.
- Graph View Magnification (see related feature requests).
- Graph View Wall (see related feature requests).
