Visualizing and interacting with the graph in external program #272

Open tristanstoeber opened 4 years ago

tristanstoeber commented 4 years ago

Hey Erik, is there a way to visualize and dynamically interact with the graph created by org-brain? i think about exporting the graph into an external program. Best, Tristan

Hi! What do you mean by visualize and dynamically interact? That's basically what org-brain does using M-x org-brain-visualize :)

Regarding exporting you could have a look at https://github.com/Kungsgeten/org-brain-export Its early days though!

You could also have a look at: https://github.com/swhalemwo/obvz I haven't tried it myself though.

I also add the promising project org-graph-view of @alphapapa who is also thinking of integrating the visualization of non-hierarchical links.

I tried obvz, it is perfect. That is why I posted my latest issue here*, if I can convert normal .org headers to org-brain entries, then via obvz we can display it there, plus another great advantage export the whole thing, no matter how big the network is, as .svg . Seeing all your relationships nicely, in one big view, in case someone wants to create a big poster for example, plus with node text support in this svg.

For my part, I haven't tested obvz but it looks promising. A tool like this would be very useful.

@Kungsgeten You should try obvz for sure, it is a perfect complement to org-brain. Lot's of fun. We have textual visualization in org-brain, and obvz just giving the 'more grapical style' visualization and much further/far away concept showing.

So in org-brain we can see the close distance entries, in obvz a bit further away as well. Plus the .svg export of course, however I have to find out how to get the svg with black color background.
