[Suggestion] Visualise a "citation" relation #3

Closed chiptuned closed 6 years ago

chiptuned commented 6 years ago

Hi, The relation between two nodes are sometimes ambiguous and I need to click on one of the two nodes in order to see the papers which are citing the papers, aka the green nodes. Could we have another color for "citation" papers? Is it relevant in the current state of development?

screenshot from 2017-11-24 11-08-43 In this case, with a dense graph, I don't know the relation (or let's say folding), between Ca17 and the other nodes, because no one cites it, and I would like to know which ones in my graph are used in this paper.

I like the idea, and will implement it soon. Any idea about which color we should use?

Regarding the more general concept of cited papers, it may be interesting for Origami to scrap for cited papers as well as citing (since so far it only does citing). However, since Google Scholar does not provide that information, it may require to either:

Both options would require serious redesign to clarify the difference between citing and cited papers, especially Information.js, Graph.js and PublicationsList.js. However, the underlying data model publications.js would probably remain mostly unchanged, therefore easing up the refactoring.

What about some red-ish color, like c6583f? Maybe it's too different from the current scheme. If someone wants to pick a new color, I find this website quite handy : https://coolors.co/e8e8e8-008cff-334d5c-3cba54-c6583f
