Grouping edges in the graph
Grouping edges in the graph allows you to combine multiple edges between the same two nodes. This can help reduce visual clutter in the graph and make it easier to analyze relationships between nodes.
Grouping options
- Single-edge
-
This option combines all edges between the same two nodes into a single, grouped edge. The direction of the grouped edge is determined by the direction of the child edges, if they all share the same direction, the grouped edge will display that direction. If the child edges have mixed directions, the grouped edge will be undirected.
- Per-direction
-
This option will create a grouped edge for each directed child edge that exists between the same two nodes. Choosing this option will result in a minimum of one grouped edge and a maximum of three grouped edges (one for each direction and one undirected).
- Off
-
This option will ungroup any grouped edges and display all standard edges between nodes.
Applying edge grouping
There are two methods to apply edge grouping in the graph:
1. Graph toolbar:
Open the View > Visualize settings from the toolbar and choose Edge grouping. From there, you can choose how to group edges. This edge grouping setting will apply to all edges in the graph.
2. Context menu:
Right-click on an edge or group of edges to open the context menu. From there, you can click on Edge grouping and choose how to group the selected edges. This edge grouping setting will only apply to the selected edges. When grouping a selected edge, it will group all other edges between the same two nodes, even if they are not selected.
