Visualization

The Visualization panel controls node and edge geometry, material and lighting presets, edge styling, and on-render text labels. It requires a graph to be loaded. The rendering geometry itself is created by Setup Visual (in the Data panel, Step 4), which instances node spheres and edge cylinders through Geometry Nodes.

Subpanel: Appearance

Control	Description
Node Size	Base radius of node glyphs.
Node Resolution	Tessellation of the node primitive.
Node Shape	Glyph shape used for nodes.
Attr Mult (node)	Multiplier applied when node size is driven by an attribute.
Edge Thickness	Base radius of edge tubes.
Edge Resolution	Tessellation of the edge primitive.
Attr Mult (edge)	Multiplier applied when edge thickness is driven by an attribute.
Show Arrows	Adds direction arrows; exposes arrow Size and Position along the edge.
Update Appearance	Applies the appearance settings to the geometry.

Subpanel: Scene Setup

Control	Description
Material Preset	A predefined material style; Apply Preset assigns it.
Lighting	A lighting rig preset; Setup Lighting builds the lights in the scene.

Subpanel: Edge Style

Controls the geometric routing of edges, from straight tubes to bundled, curved, orthogonal, and tapered styles.

Control	Description
Preset	A named bundle of style settings.
Type	The routing type: straight, Curved, Quadratic, Arc, Tapered, Orthogonal, or Bundled. The settings below change with the type.
Curve Settings	For curved types: Curvature, Segments, and Direction.
Orthogonal Settings	For orthogonal edges: Style and Segments.
Bundling Settings	For bundled edges: Strength, Iterations, Compatibility threshold, and Segments.
Taper Settings	For tapered edges: Start Thickness and End Thickness.
Multi-Edge Handling	Auto-Offset Parallel Edges (with Offset Distance) and Self-Loop Radius.
OSMnx Options	For OSMnx graphs: Preserve Street Geometry keeps the original curved street shapes.

Quick presets

One-click presets emulate familiar tools and use cases: Gephi, Cytoscape, Schematic, Bundled, Flow, and Minimal.

Action	Description
Apply Edge Style	Applies the configured style to the graph.
Preview (eye icon)	Previews the style without committing.
Reset (loop icon)	Restores straight edges.

Subpanel: Text Labels

Note

Enable the overlay with the checkbox in the subpanel header. Labels are composited over the final render using the scene camera and render resolution.

Control	Description
Source	Where label text comes from; choose Attribute to label by a named attribute.
Attribute	The attribute to display (when source is Attribute).
Number Format	Format type (float, scientific, percentage…), decimals, thousands separator, and optional prefix/suffix.
Size Mode	Fixed, Proportional, or Adaptive (adaptive compensates for perspective). Exposes Base Size and/or Scale Factor.
Visibility	Max Distance beyond which labels hide, and Depth Occlusion so labels behind geometry are hidden.
Attribute Filter	Optionally show labels only for nodes matching an attribute/operator/value condition (e.g. degree above a threshold).
Font	System font or a custom font file.
Appearance	Text color and an optional background with color and opacity.
Auto Update	Periodically regenerates the overlay (with an interval); start/stop the modal updater.
Generate / Update / Remove	Build, refresh, or remove the overlay image.
