I thought I would share what I did to style my edges by namespace.
Basically I manipulated the files with sed based on filenames that include
the namespace.
Initially I tried exporting the map to a JSON file, one edge of which was
styled as desired with a simple colour change. I added the color element
to some more of the edges in the JSON and imported them back in. However,
while TW would see the file as an import file it would never indicate there
were any tiddlers to import and indeed never imported anything. After a bit
of fiddling I moved on. It might be nice to know why this didn't work.
{
"edges": [
{
"id": "9ed087ce-abff-48df-a043-18afab924a18",
"from": "51b38c02-0bf1-4de0-b391-1cc0dfe96476",
"to": "c04185d7-ea68-4ca1-8125-98cdbf5e9187",
"type": "flow clear: POS_BLTYESBP",
"label": " POS_BLTYESBP",
"color": {
"color": "rgba(209,19,26,1)"
}
},
{
"id": "7f7c655d-8408-42c4-a0cb-d296dbfd3a18",
"from": "d1a1826b-bd43-4b99-9055-f75f2b5e028f",
"to": "2bdf023d-580b-4201-96f6-c81ecdc51a7d",
"type": "flow clear: APIGW_LDMS",
"label": " APIGW_LDMS"
Aside from the lengthy names that start with a dollar sign (why? - I'm
certain there is a good reason but you have to escape the dollar sign at
times), the edge tiddlers themselves are obviously quite simple as seen
below.

With some concern over ordering (the file with style added through TW had
the color statement in the middle of the file), I used sed to append
different color statements to the last line of the file based on the file
name that included my name space of flow_clear or flow_token.
find . -name "*flow_clear*" -exec sed -i '$ a style:
{"color":{"color":"rgba(255,0,0,1)"}}' {} \;
find . -name "*flow_token*" -exec sed -i '$ a style:
{"color":{"color":"rgba(0,255,0,1)"}}' {} \;
While the files were being updated I was getting some funky results -
things not updating even after a restart of the server. I noticed that
some files were showing an extended access control indicator with a plus
sign at the end of the permissions. (rw_rw_r__+) On getting the extended
acl with getfacl, the file name appeared garbage. It just showed ".tid".
A little playing around revealed either I cannot or should not be editing
these files with the node server is up. I'm not sure if this is
expected/common of something to do with the Google Drive drivers, but
stopping the server, doing the editing, and starting worked. Also note
that the Google Drive access is VERY slow. I am mildly concerned.
Finally, one other niggle during the process caused a little consternation.
The changes were still not showing up given the combination of the sed
command I used and the construct of the file. It turned out to be the
blank line above my new color statement. The following sed command removed
the blank lines.
find . -name "*flow_token*" -exec sed -i '/^$/d' {} \;
I'd love to figure out how to script this from within TW, but working with
some more familiar tools (even though it's probably been almost 10 years
since I've actively used Linux) got the job done for now.
