About the Graph Visualization Legend Panel

Learn about the graph visualization legend panel when viewing the results of the query in graph format.

The graph visualization legend panel appears on the right of the graph visualization panel. It displays legend entries for vertices and edges, including configured custom styles and group styles. Group styles are listed in the Groups section. The following figure shows a sample legend panel:

Select the menu icon in the Graph Legend header to hide or show the legend panel.

You can perform the following actions in the legend panel:

• Edit the style of a legend item.

  You can configure the size, color, caption, icon (for vertex only), and animations for a legend item.

  Note: If a vertex has a property named caption or title, then the value of that property is automatically used as the default caption text to be displayed for that vertex in your graph visualization. You can use the AS keyword in the PROPERTY clause of the CREATE PROPERTY GRAPH DDL statement to rename a vertex property as caption or title. This ensures that the property value is used as the default caption for that vertex in the graph visualization.

• Reorder the legend items by dragging and dropping them, or by selecting Move up or Move down from the action menu for a legend item.

• Enable or disable a style by clicking on the legend item symbol.

• Enable or disable the visibility of the vertices or edges using the visibility checkbox.

• Enable or disable the option in the Edges legend region to choose how hidden elements are handled (see Displaying Implied Edges for Hidden Vertices for more information).
