1.15.0

New features

• Virtual Relationship Models - Relationships are first class citizens in graphs and a great source of knowledge but graph models with many parallel relationships can become very hard to visually analyse. For such use cases Graphlytic supports virtual merging of parallel relationships into one relationship which then represents an array of relationships. There are three models of relationships which can be used:

  • All relationships - in this case nothing is merged and all relationships are visualized exactly as they are stored in the database.

  • Direction merge of relationships - this model merges parallel relationships with the same direction. When using this model you can visually distinguish if two nodes are connected and if they have connections in both directions or if their relationship is one directional.

  • Merge of relationships - this model merges all relationships between two nodes and do not distinguish directions. It's used when you need to see if there is or is not a connection between nodes. This model is easier to render and therefore is recommended to use it when you want to visualize large graphs.

• Exploring filter - select which types of nodes (based on their labels) and which types of relationships are added to the visualization when you are using the exploring functionality in Graphlytic. Preselect the configuration and explore parts of the graph or control the filtering before adding any new elements to the visualization. This can be helpful when your graph model has nodes with high degree which can lead to cluttered visualizations very quickly. Filtering can be also used for exploring only some layers of the graph model.
