Graph type
As characters and factions multiply, it gets hard to hold in your head who is tied to whom, and how. A node type made as a Graph type draws its nodes as points and their relations as lines, showing a character map or a faction layout in one picture.
Say you open the graph for your Characters type: Vincent and Raon are points, and the relation between them is a line. If Vincent connects to a node of another type — the faction he belongs to, say — that node is drawn too, so relations across types appear in the same picture.
Opening the graph
- Press All on the node type in the sidebar.
- The relation graph appears above and the type's list of nodes below, on one screen.
Following a relation
- Press Vincent in the graph. A small window shows how he connects to the other nodes on screen — relations and in-text links.
- Press a name in the window to go to that node.
Choosing what the graph draws
Under View › Graph in the ⋯ at the top, turn on or off the node types drawn alongside, node labels, and property edges.
Viewing the list as cards or a table
Flip the node list below the graph between views with the [Cards | Table] switch at the top right of the list.
- Cards — each node on one card with its name and main properties. Pick the properties under View › Cards in the ⋯ at the top.
- Table — nodes as rows and properties as columns. Set the columns and the grouping under View › Table. Press a node relation cell to expand the related nodes underneath.
In the table, choose Group by this property in a column name's ⋯ to group the rows by that property's values.
Handling several nodes at once
In the table, select several nodes to pin or delete them at once, or send just those to a file with Export › on the bar.
- Each type remembers whether you chose cards or table.
- If you don't pick card properties, cards show the two properties filled in most often.
