Tidgraph

[Damon Pritchett]

Hi all,

I've just installed the plugin Tidgraph and love it. However, I have observed an odd behavior that I don't know if it's peculiar to my instance or this happens generally.

I'm using it to create a tree with tiddlers tagged with the current tiddler. This all works fine. The odd behavior comes into play when I click one of the branches. Clicking a branch opens the tiddler as expected, but if I close that tiddler and then click the same branch again to reopen it, nothing happens. To get that branch to work again, I have to click another branch (which opens that tiddler) and then re-click the branch I wanted in the first place.

Has anyone else experienced this behavior or is it just something in my TW?

Thanks,

Damon

It's a tidgraph thing.
If you look in your adress bar tidgraph works by putting the permalink to the tiddler you want up there.
When you click the same one again it dosn't scroll to it because the link hasn't changed.

At least I think thats whats happening.

Thanks Stephan,

I was hoping and thinking that was the case.

It's such a great tool. It's a shame that there hasn't been any activity on updating it in quite a long time.

Have you (or anyone else for that matter) made any adjustments or tweaks to it? I've changed a couple of stylesheet things, but that's about it. I've noticed that the "E" version seems to work a lot better than the "S" version as far as placement goes. What I mean by that is that if the graph gets large, then I've noticed a lot of funky crossing of lines in the "S" version which doesn't happen in the "E" version. This is probably due to space constraints, but it seems that it could be handled better than it does.

I was also wondering about modifying the arrows to either have none or have them in the opposite direction. Haven't even started fiddling with this, but am wondering if anyone else has taken a look at it.

I'm also thinking this would be a great tool for family historians. I've noticed some posts about this in the past. Has anyone tried to tackle the "parent" problem?

I'm thinking about tinkering with it, but my JavaScript skills are very basic so haven't even tried yet. Anyone tried this or have suggestions?

Alas I'm only a user who didn't even know about the e and a flavours. I shall have to have a tinker. If you could improve it that would be great!
