Hi Justin, what Tony says is correct and this is truly the power of TiddlyWiki that you can influence the behaviour of other plugins by simply updating the field values that the plugin uses or depends on.
However in case of TiddlyMap, there is also a simple API you can use to programmatically create connections: See my comment here: https://github.com/felixhayashi/TW5-TiddlyMap/issues/292#issuecomment-408828495 Also see this code: https://github.com/felixhayashi/TW5-TiddlyMap/blob/master/src/plugins/felixhayashi/tiddlymap/js/widget/MapWidget.js#L254 const view = $tm.misc.defaultViewLabel; const n1 = $tm.adapter.insertNode({ label: 'Have fun with', x: 0, y: 0 }, view); const n2 = $tm.adapter.insertNode({ label: 'TiddlyMap!!', x: 100, y: 100 }, view); $tm.adapter.insertEdge({ from: n1.id, to: n2.id }); Hope this helps Best wishes On 11/24/18 3:33 AM, TonyM wrote: Justin, I am not so familiar with tiddlymap but by creating an edge in the map from one tiddler to another I can see that the field tmap.edges: is updated in the tiddler with reference to tmap.id: of the tiddler it connects to and with the relationship name. As with almost anything in tiddlywiki you can reverse engineer a solution, then build your own connecting methods to almost any plugin or solution out there. Of course someone may have done something similar before and be able to push you forward. In this case it would be a matter of simply understanding the format to use and updating a given tiddlers tmap.edges field as required. An important fact is that even if you build a process to update multiple tiddlers with edge definitions you will still need to trigger this with a button. Best of luck Tony On Saturday, November 24, 2018 at 11:22:21 AM UTC+11, Justin B wrote: Hello lovely Tiddler Touters, I was wondering if anyone was familiar enough with Tiddlymap to know of a way to programmatically generate connections between tiddlers. I am looking for a way where I can select a to, from, and connection type tiddler from drop-downs and then add the new connection with a button mimicking the functionality of the "Add Edge" button in the map view.
