Main Graph Canvas
The Graph results tab renders your query results as an interactive node/edge visualization.
Core interactions
- Pan/zoom the canvas to explore results.
- Select nodes/edges to inspect them (opens the Data panel).
- Right-click / context menu is used in the tutorial flow to open element details.
Labels & Relationships filters
When you have results, the overlay includes:
- Labels list: toggle visibility of nodes by label.
- Relationships list: toggle visibility of edges by relationship type.
These toggles update visibility on the canvas without re-running the query.
Canvas controls
The controls area includes:
- Animation control (play/pause force-layout delay)
- Zoom in / Zoom out
- Center / fit to screen
Tabs around the canvas
From the same results region you can switch to:
- Table view (when tabular data exists)
- Metadata view (when metadata/explain exists)
Frequently Asked Questions 4
How do I pan and zoom the graph canvas?
Use your mouse or trackpad to pan (click and drag the background) and zoom (scroll wheel or pinch gesture). You can also use the zoom in/out buttons in the canvas controls.
Can I hide certain node labels or relationship types?
Yes. Use the Labels and Relationships filter lists overlaid on the canvas to toggle visibility of specific node labels or edge types without re-running the query.
How do I center the graph on screen?
Click the Center / fit to screen button in the canvas controls area to automatically fit all visible elements within the viewport.
What does the animation control do?
The play/pause button controls the force-layout animation which arranges nodes dynamically. Pausing it freezes the layout in its current position.
