Enhancement: make edge expansion more user friendly
The Graph view is extremely useful for data discovery.
Unfortunately when you expand vertex edges with a lot of elements (hundreds / thousands) in most of the cases you end up with an unmanageable graph. The only thing to do at this stage is to clean the view and start again (a bit frustrating).
A simple indicator that could help users would be to have the number of edges for a given label along with the name. This would make users aware that expanding a given element it will end up in precise number of new nodes in the graph.
A more sophisticated and cool feature would be to allow the user to filter the edges before expanding 'em. These filters could be applied on the edges property or the not-expanded vertexes properties.
WDYT?
Hi @fabriziofortino
i agree, i was thinking the same about edges number. The fix is simple and i can make it for the next release.
About Filtering would be cool to have it, but require more works.
I'm opening a new issue for the small enhancement of the edges number and we can leave this open for the sophisticated one
