Reusable styling set

[Michel Michaels]

Hi,

Our net has a few type of nodes (e.g.  customer, company, employee of company product). Each of them has own styling (image, shape, ...).

Questions:

1) Is it possible to define  a set of properties ?

2) Is  it possible to use it

2a) during import

2b) during creating of nodes interactively  ?

The same questions for edge.

Thanks,

Michel

Hi Michel,

   You can certainly define your own style and then reapply that style.  Just go to the Style panel pull down the menu to create a new style or start by copying an existing style.  You can then export the style and re-import it whenever you want to use it.  This will work regardless of when the nodes/edges are created as long as they have the appropriate attributes.  So, for example, you would need to create an attribute for "type" as you've defined above and then the image/shape, etc would depend on that attribute.
