Can the line width of the edges be made even smaller?

0 votes
Thanks a lot for the convenient auto layout and import from Excel file that make large graph possible.  I  have a graph with 2337 nodes(each node is a file) and 3143 edges(each edge is an include relation of one file by another). Some of the files are included by many other files. The most frequently included one is included by 1699 files, while other files are being included hundreds of times. Once I plot all these files and the inclusion relation using organic layout, the density of the edges near the heavily included nodes, i.e. those "centers of inclusion", is so high that it becomes very difficult if not impossible to select individual nodes near the inclusion centers. Amplifying the graph does not help, as the width of the edges get amplified also. Thus, it would be nice if the minimum width of the edges could be reduced further. Alternatively, it maybe desirable that the width of the edges are in terms of pixels irrespective of the scale of the graph. Then as the graph is amplified enough, there will be empty space in between densely packed edges.

Try "Tools" -> "Geometric Transformations" with option "Operation" set to "Scale" and option "Scale Node Size" enabled. This should essentially yield the result of your alternative approach.
