The Graph view lets you visualize the relationships between the notes in your vault.
|
|
|
|
To open the Graph view, click **Open graph view** in the [[ribbon]].
|
|
|
|
- Circles represent notes, or _nodes_.
|
|
- Lines represents [[Internal link|internal links]] between two nodes.
|
|
|
|
The more nodes that reference a given node, the bigger it gets.
|
|
|
|
To interact with notes in the graph:
|
|
|
|
- Hover over each circle to highlight that note's connections.
|
|
- Click a note in the graph to open that note.
|
|
- Right-click a note to open a context menu with the actions available for that note.
|
|
|
|
To navigate around the graph:
|
|
|
|
- Zoom in and out using the scroll wheel on your mouse, or using the `+` and `-` keys.
|
|
- Move the graph around by dragging it with your mouse cursor, or using the arrow keys.
|
|
|
|
You can hold Shift while using the keyboard to speed up the movements.
|
|
|
|
## Settings
|
|
|
|
To open the graph settings, click the cog icon in the top-left corner of the graph view.
|
|
|
|
Click **Restore default settings** in the top-right corner of the settings box to reset any changes you make.
|
|
|
|
### Filters
|
|
|
|
This section controls what nodes to show in the graph.
|
|
|
|
- **Search files** lets you filter notes based on a search query. To learn about how you can write more advanced search queries, refer to [[Search]].
|
|
- **Tags** toggles whether to show tags in the graph.
|
|
- **Attachments** toggles whether to show attachments in the graph.
|
|
- **Existing files only** toggles whether to show notes that exists in your vault. Since a note doesn't need to exist to link to it, this can help reduce limit your graph to notes that you actually have in your vault.
|
|
- **Orphans** toggles whether to show notes without any links.
|
|
|
|
### Groups
|
|
|
|
Create groups of notes to distinguish them from each other using color.
|
|
|
|
To create a new group:
|
|
|
|
1. Click **New group**.
|
|
2. In the search box, type a search query for the notes you want to add to the group.
|
|
3. Click the colored circle to give the group a color.
|
|
|
|
To learn about how you can write more advanced search queries, refer to [[Search]].

|
|
### Display
|
|
|
|
This section controls how to visualize nodes and links in the graph.
|
|
|
|
- **Arrows** toggles whether to show the direction of each link.
|
|
- **Text fade threshold** controls the text transparency for the name of each note.
|
|
- **Node size** controls the size of the circle representing each note.
|
|
- **Link thickness** controls the line width for each link.
|
|
- **Animate** starts a [[#Start a timelapse animation|timelapse animation]].
|
|
|
|
### Forces
|
|
|
|
This section controls the forces that act on each node in the graph.
|
|
|
|
- **Center force** controls how compact the graph is. A higher value creates a more circular graph.
|
|
- **Repel force** controls how much a node pushes other nodes away from it.
|
|
- **Link force** controls the pull on each link. If the link was a rubber band, the link force controls how tight or loose the band is.
|
|
- **Link distance** controls the length of the lines between each note.
|
|
|
|
