Hi Benjamin,
Thanks for the answer,
I have a layered graph, i.e., level 0 are only connected to level 1, level
one to level 2, etc. What if
I create a node at top, say level n and create all level n elements to it
and each time querying just
specify a start node (not sure if we can specify start node in java or
not)?
My following questions are as follows:
1- When creating normal node we can use createNode command in java and
specify the label, but
if I have a spatial layer and for instance I add a point (using
createPoint), how do I attach a label to it?
2-Is adding label to all nodes going to decrease the performance ?
Best,
Alireza
