Distinguish between types of nodes #21

Open gabri94 opened 7 years ago

gabri94 commented 7 years ago

Visualizing OLSRd2 topologies can be difficult if every attached network of the node is visualized as a node itself. Here's an example of a network of 6 nodes http://ninux-graph.netjson.org/topology/53b35ab9-aa6d-4705-89c3-310eac09b0da/ Visualizing the attached networks the number of the nodes in the graph grows to 16, making difficult the analysis of the network.

It would be useful to find a way to hide these attached networks and to visualize them only on as needed.

Thanks, Gabriel

Hey @gabri94, thanks for reporting, what do the additional nodes represent?

Do you think we can ask Henning to add a flag to hide those?
