Panel Reference
This reference documents every panel and subpanel in the SciGraphs sidebar, organized by tab. Each page describes what a panel does, when it is visible, the meaning of every control, and the recommended workflow.
For a high-level map of the whole interface, see The sidebar interface.
SciGraphs tab
The core combinatorial workflow.
| Panel | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Data | Importing from files, SQL databases, SuiteSparse, and reproducible pipelines; geospatial and temporal options. |
| Layout & Positioning | Choosing and tuning layout algorithms; interactive layout; Network Splitter 3D. |
| Graph Algorithms | Traversal (BFS/DFS), pathfinding, spanning trees, network flow. |
| Analysis | Centrality, community detection, directed analysis, statistics, topology. |
| Visualization | Node/edge appearance, scene presets, edge styles, text labels. |
| Export & Tools | Export to graph formats, node positions, statistics reports. |
| Reproducibility | Declarative pipeline replay and provenance. |
OSMnx tab
Street-network download and analysis from OpenStreetMap.
| Panel | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Download | Import a network by place, point, bbox, polygon, or XML. |
| Graph Operations | Projection, conversion, simplification, consolidation, truncation. |
| Network Attributes | Edge lengths, bearings, speeds, and travel times. |
| Routing & Paths | Shortest path, K alternatives, and batch routing. |
| Accessibility | Isochrones, ego subgraphs, network DBSCAN. |
| Statistics & Centrality | Basic stats, circuity, centrality, orientation, node-pair distances. |
| Features & POIs | OSM feature downloads, POI snapping, geocoding/geometry helpers. |
| Elevation & Terrain | DEM sourcing, 3D positions, grades, terrain mesh, basemaps. |
| IO / Export | GraphML round-trip, GIS export formats, graph cache. |
City2Graph tab
Heterogeneous urban graphs for urban analytics and GeoAI.
| Panel | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Data Import | Overture/OSMnx features, local files, segment processing, and GTFS feeds. |
| Urban Morphology | Segment graphs, tessellations, and morphological building/street graphs. |
| Transportation | Travel-summary and OD graphs from a loaded GTFS feed. |
| Mobility (OD Matrix) | Graphs from an external origin–destination matrix. |
| Graph Tools | Largest-component, distance filter, clip, and isochrone utilities. |
| Proximity Graphs | Single-layer, multi-layer, and group-node spatial networks. |
| Metapath Analysis | Connect amenities through the street network. |
| GeoAI Export | Export graphs for GNN training and a PyG loader script. |
