Search & focus

In full mode the header carries a search box (the magnifier, or press Shift+J): start typing and it fuzzy-matches node labels, then focuses whatever you pick. The same camera control is available programmatically — graph.focusElement(node) pans and zooms to a node and graph.highlightElement(node) draws attention to it.

Use the search box above the graph, or the buttons below to jump straight to a city.

Focus

// Programmatic camera control. focusElement pans and zooms to an element;
// highlightElement adds a visual emphasis class (clearHighlightedElements removes
// it). Fetch the live node with getMutableNode so it resolves to the rendered one.
function focusNode(graph, id) {
    const node = graph.getMutableNode(id)
    if (!node) return
    graph.clearHighlightedElements()
    graph.focusElement(node)
    graph.highlightElement(node)
}

// Drop the highlight and zoom back out to the whole graph.
function showAll(graph) {
    graph.clearHighlightedElements()
    graph.renderer.fitAndCenter()
}

Options

// Full mode ships the built-in search box in the header (the magnifier, or
// Shift+J). Typing fuzzy-matches node labels; picking a result focuses it.
const options = {
    UI: { mode: 'full' }
}

Data

// A dozen cities wired into a route network — enough that finding one by eye is
// annoying, which is the whole point of search + focus.
const data = {
    nodes: [
        { id: 'paris', data: { label: 'Paris' } },
