Highlight connected nodes and edges #33

Open jonimatix opened 5 years ago

jonimatix commented 5 years ago

Hello!

Can I propose a new feature where you click a node and highlights the connected nodes and edges? This will easily show the directly related nodes in a large network.

Thank you

@benmaier what do you think? I'm leaning a bit to the "this is not general enough and may annoy more than benefit the general user"-side.

@jonimatix we did at some point discuss creating an "ego network" feature or something similar, where one could subset the network by clicking certain nodes. The reason we did not do this, I think, was that we want Netwulf to be about visualization, not exploration. At the same time, both go hand in hand to some extent.

hmm, nice points you folks raise. Let's keep this in mind. I'll be on vacation for three weeks though, so from my end nothing will happen soon :)
