The Graph
Press ⌃⌘G — or click Graph in the toolbar — and your document becomes
a living map: every page a node, every link an edge, arranged by a gentle physics
simulation.
The Graph: hubs grow, clusters form, orphans drift to the edge.
- Size — the more connected a page, the larger its node. Your hubs are obvious at a glance.
- Hover a node to light up its neighborhood; everything else fades.
- Find — type in the field at the top-left and matching nodes light up while the
rest dim; Return previews the best match. The ⊙ button (or double-clicking the
background) re-fits the whole graph in the window.
- Click a node and the page appears in a preview pane on the right — the graph
stays up, so you can keep exploring. Page links inside the preview move the preview
(and the ring in the graph) to that page, and the ‹ › buttons in the pane header
retrace your exploration. Drag the pane's left edge to resize it
(double-click the divider to reset); the width is remembered.
- Double-click a node — or ⌘-click it, or press Open Page in the
preview — to leave the graph and really go there.
- Drag nodes to untangle; drag the background to pan; scroll to zoom.
Esc closes the preview pane first, then the graph.
- Big documents — past a few hundred pages, the graph opens on the
neighborhood of the current page (everything within two links) instead of an
unreadable thousand-node tangle. A button beside Find swaps between the neighborhood
and the whole document; on the whole-document view, labels appear as you hover or
zoom in.
The graph is honest cartography of how you actually think: tight clusters are your
projects, bridges are your themes, and lonely dots at the edge are pages waiting to be
linked into the conversation.
