How to make looking at selection easier #420

Open Garbash opened 9 years ago

@LV-426 @alon would like your feedback on this.

I'll use the CRI data as example:

Say I've made a simple selection of three nodes: screen shot 2015-04-02 at 10 51 19 In the current system, in order to see all the selections at once, I'll have to be at such a zoomed-out level that node text is hard to read.(This gets even worse as people get older and eye-sight deteriorates) Another example, in which I've selected two highly connected nodes: screen shot 2015-04-02 at 10 56 19 Here the problem is that I have too many edges crossing each other, and it's hard to understand who is related to who.

So two main problems: (1) Nodes displayed too far apart making font to small (2) Edges intersecting causing difficulty in understanding which is which.

A few solutions: The "simple" solution

Selection bubble solution

The search filter button

I think best solution would be:

Thoughts?

Link highlight is already implemented. Filtering to show only matching nodes and links - sounds like a good idea.

And on a more practical note: this is related to #400, would be nice to tackle both together
