Is there a tool which shows the tree/web/map/table built from the References tab for each tiddler? I want to see a visual of tiddlers linking to each other. One can go to the Reference tab of the information tiddler, open a referencing tiddler, and repeat the process. I'm not looking to snake my way through tiddlers because it doesn't show the connections; I'm trying to find a visualization of the References on a growing map.

I've been looking through visualization tools, but I've not seen one which functions like this. I'm not looking to build the visualization by hand (which some of the mind mapping tools appear to require), but rather view an automated visualization of the connections already built into the wiki. I'm wondering if there is a plugin with a visual map that grows as you click on nodes, adding new referents to the map along with the connections as you go.

If there is not one, perhaps there is a preferred plugin to modify to do this work. Where should I go?

If I understand what you're trying to accomplish, you can do this directly from the Live View tab of TiddlyMap:


This tiddler is linked from a large number of the other tiddlers on the sample site.  Visiting this link, and then selecting the "Live" tab on the right side of the window allows you to see these native links, zoom in or out, and browse the various other connections in a visual manner.  Double-click on one of the referenced/referencing tiddlers in the map to open it, and see the tiddlers it is linked to in the map view.  Searching the docs on this site demonstrates ways to customize views based on custom filters as well.

Thank you! The "Live" view is the closest tool I've seen by far. I'll see if I can get the behavior/views I'm looking for with custom filters.
