Hey,

I just installed the TiddlyMap plug-in and still learning a lot about how to use it. I was wondering if there is way for it to display how the tags are connected to each other? For example, if I wrote a Tiddler with the tag "math" and "medicine", there would be a link between these two tags. Also not sure if this is possible either but I have a tab called "Contents" and within it there are sub-tiddler each with it's own series of tags on them. It would be really cool to see if I could visualize how all the tags are connected in my "Contents" tab but I have been searching everywhere on how to do this but can't find it. I uploaded a screenshot of I organized my "Contents" tab for clarity.

Thanks!

Yes, it's possible to visualize those tags as edges.

You have to go to the menu (hamburger button)
then "configure view" (cogwheel icon)
then "edit filters" tab
then scroll down to the field "Edge-type filter: ", there you will see the list of disabled edge types.
You want to enable the edge-type " tw-list-tags", so you cut this line: "-[[tw-list:tags]]" from that list.
And voilà you can visualize all those tag connections on your map.
After having cut that line you can paste it somewhere and save it, just for the case that you want to hide those connections again (then you will have to disable that edge-type by restoring that line to its original list.)

btw under menu / manage edge-types you can edit the styling of the edge type "tw-list-tags" to your liking, as with any other edge type.
