[idea] Make nodes with more connections larger

[MaxBayly]

To show which nodes are the 'hubs' of the graph, it might be nice to be able to display nodes with lots of edges as larger, or make node size a function of connection count (maybe this falls under "Configurable parameters of graph simulation." in the roadmap?)

[wgslr]

Personally, I feel like the edges themselves are visible enough to draw attention to the nodes with many of them. I'm not sure making the nodes larger would improve readability of the graph. If anything, I would reserve such markings to things that are not visible otherwise in the graph (e.g. note length, although I don't see actual need for that).

Also, this issue seems very similar to #17 , perhaps it's best to move any further discussion there.

I have to disagree with @wgslr and agree with @MaxBayly - in a large graph, the edges will look like a hairball. If the major nodes are larger, it will be easier to find them and start to make sense of the graph.

Here's an example from Obsidian.

Conversely, the same dataset in Foam/Markdown Links:

Putting aside the fact that the force simulation parameters are wild and I can't even zoom out far enough to see it all, its very difficult to find the central nodes in each cluster.

Also, when you hover a node, Obsidian highlights its connected links and nodes, and fades the rest:

@nixsee I was just about to let you know that similar thing is being worked on but I noticed that you are already well aware of that 😅 .

So in case somebody else is looking: #51.

[nixsee]

Could probably close this issue given #51?

[tchayen]

Until #51 is merged, it remains an open issue though 😄 .

[MaxBayly]

Seems like this has been implemented with #51 , nice!
