Open kmcginnes opened 4 months ago

Description

The current node and edge customization options have a lot of options that can be intimidating for some users.

For simple customizations Graph Explorer should offer a few pre-built options that are easy to apply.

I'm not sure if this should be its own issue, but some way to control edge length and "springiness" would really help when there are a lot of nodes and edges to display. Consider an airport connected to 250 other airports, the screen display can get very dense.

@krlawrence I went ahead and created a new issue and added a comment in that issue regarding the technical aspects that might restrict our capabilities.
