Properties Sidebar

The Properties sidebar will help you to change the properties of your currently selected graph, vertices and edges. Some of them are editable, and some of them not. For example directed (in graph properties) can not be changed, the graph direction is determined at  creation time and can not be changed after that.

In the normal mode when nothing is selected, the properties sidebar will show graph properties:


Graph Properties

Show Vertex Labels and Show Edge Labels will only change the graph view, hiding labels will help you to see the whole structure of graph. If you are editing a large graph, hiding labels will help GraphLab to draw the graph faster.

Is Edges Curved attribute determines whether the graph edges are curved or not. By setting this to yes you can draw curved edges in you graph.

When a single vertex or a single edge is selected their properties will be shown:


Vertex Properties


Edge Properties

Note that the color property is both an integer and a color. when the algorithms set the color, they set it to a number like 3, then GraphLab uses a map and shows it as a green. you can set the colors as any color you like, for this choose Color Editor from the drop down menu that appears when clicking on the Color properties.

Label Location attribute will help you to change the relative location of edges/vertices labels.

The default edge label is its weight, by changing the Show Weight property of edge, The shown label will be its Label property.

When you selected multiple edges and vertices, The property editor will show all available properties for them, the values shown in front of each property are not necessarily the properties of all selected vertices/edges, but by changing them you can apply the new property to all of them.


Selection Properties

The Vertices and Edges properties shows you the number of selected vertices/edges.
