Future ideas

[jamsden]

Some ideas on future features:

• Click empty space to unselect all nodes in a graph
• select a graph node and:
  • Show preview - works but needs to use portal to decouple rendering the graph from rendering the dialog
  • Edit (title, if title is displayed)
  • Hide/Unhide (depending on Hide toolbar button and whether the node is hidden)
  • Hide type
  • expand/collapse
  • Remove (from graph)
  • Delete (from repository)
• multi-select nodes and:
  • Hide
  • Hide type
  • expand/collapse
  • Remove
  • Delete
• Select two nodes and add link
• Select an edge and:
  • Hide
  • Hide type
  • Delete
• Click toolbar Hide button to toggle show/hide on/off.
  • Hide off: all hidden nodes are displayed in the graph
• New… create a new impact analysis graph optionally using a template
• Template specifies graph parameters that override the defaults
  • traversal: incoming, outgoing, both, default: outgoing
  • depth: number of link traversals to include in the graph, default: 1
  • layout: how the graph should be laid out, default: Dagre layout
  • style: node and edge styles, default: explorer-styles.css
• Save As… save the current graph as an impact analysis diagram
• Save… save a previously saved graph
• Save as Template… save the current graph as a template for creating new graphs
