Roymond,
Yes, this feature will be VERY helpful to tap the new features for
visualization via the browser... and I think it can be easily done -- if
not at the level of full integration -- at least to the degree that this
could be easily supported by a slight tweak to the current implementation.
When I inspect the canvas of a live graph display, I see node elements like
this:
<g class="node" transform="translate(372.1847005940832,156.8242386162587)"
><circle class="outline" cx="0" cy="0" r="20" fill="#30B6AF" stroke=
"#46A39E" stroke-width="2px"></circle>...snip...</g>
whereby the current implementation uses the minimalist 'node' class on the
'g' elements and then hard-codes in the contained circle element the
diameter, fill color and stroke color of the selected style selected in the
pop-up 'node detail' dialog.
WISH LIST (I think this would work): 1. Minimize any hard-coded style
properties (e.g. in the circle elements) 2. Add each label of a node to the
corresponding 'g' element's class property.
I believe the current behavior could still be the default via this tweak
while allowing an easy way to refine the display of multi-labeled data by
using the drag'n'drop editing of the associated stylesheet.
