The sidebar interface

SciGraphs adds three tabs to the 3D Viewport sidebar (press N to toggle). Each tab groups a set of panels; panels contain collapsible subpanels. This page gives the complete map of the interface so you can locate any control quickly.

Tabs

Tab Purpose
SciGraphs Core combinatorial workflow: import, layout, algorithms, analysis, visualization, export, reproducibility.
OSMnx Download and analyze OpenStreetMap street networks.
City2Graph Build heterogeneous urban graphs (morphology, proximity, transport, metapaths).

SciGraphs tab

The main SciGraphs panel hosts the core workflow panels, each documented in the Panel Reference.

Conventions used in the Panel Reference

Each panel page follows the same structure:

  • What it does — a short description of the panel’s role.
  • When it appears — any conditions controlling visibility (some panels only show for directed graphs, geospatial data, or after a graph exists).
  • Controls — a table of every field, toggle, and button with its meaning.
  • Typical workflow — the recommended order of operations.
Note

Many panels are hidden until they are relevant. For example, the Network Flow and Directed Analysis panels only appear when the active object is a directed graph, and Geospatial Options / Temporal Data only appear once a file is loaded or SQL columns are available.
