3D Graph Panel
The 3D Graph panel can be used to browse and explore assets and their relationships in a three dimensional space. This can sometimes be helpful to better understand the general layout of a graph or the neighborhood of specific nodes.
The panel starts at the currently selected asset. Clicking on a node will expand any incoming and outgoing relationships.
Toolbar Features
Click node to expand neighbors this is the default mode.
Click node to make it the globally selected asset alternatively, right-click on individual nodes to select them. The selected node will be shown with a larger node.
Expand one Level opens the neighborhood of all not yet expanded nodes, by one level.
Fit to screen zooms and pans to make the complete graph visible.
Fly to selected node zooms and pans to the node representing the globally selected asset.
Reset to XY clears the graph to keep the currently globally selected asset.
Settings
Select Relationship opens a dialog where you can select which particular relationship to expand (only).
Show Arrow Heads displays pointers on the edges to indicate the direction of relationships.
Show Edge Labels displays the name of relationship properties on the edges.
Show Node Labels displays the names of assets on the nodes.
Show Type Links expanding a node usually does not follow rdf:type relationships. This is because the graph would otherwise quickly become too full and cross meta-levels. Activate this setting here in case you want to see them.
