You can select one or more vertexes and edges, and right-click in the blank area to expand the vertexes, search the path between two vertexes, and show or hide their property on the canvas. The number of vertexes and edges you choose will affect the operations that can be performed. For more information, see Graph Exploration Expansion.
Click Fit Selection to move the selected data to the center of the canvas for users to view.
Vertex Filter¶
You can filter the vertexes displayed on the canvas. In this example, select the vertexes with the Tag player and the property age greater than or equal to 35, and click the Apply Filter button.
Note
Each set of filter conditions aims at the data with this Tag. If the conditions are met, the corresponding vertex will be automatically selected. If the conditions are not met, the corresponding vertex will turn gray. The data status of other Tags will not be affected.
