Physics Settings (Radial Layout)

The radial layout uses a physics simulation. Adjust these parameters via the Graph view settings panel:

Parameter Default Range Description
Node Repulsion 5000 100-10000 Force pushing nodes apart
Edge Length 100 20-1000 Ideal distance between connected nodes
Elasticity 0.5 0.1-1.5 Edge tension/spring stiffness
Gravity 10000 0-50000 Pull toward graph center
Iterations 2500 1000-500000 Simulation steps

Tuning tips:

  • Increase Node Repulsion for sparse layouts with more space between nodes
  • Decrease Edge Length for tighter clustering of connected nodes
  • Higher Gravity pulls nodes toward center; lower values allow spreading
  • More Iterations produces smoother results but takes longer to compute

Settings are saved per-workspace with keys like graph-radial-repulsion-{workspace}.

Node Position Storage

Node positions in Graph view are automatically persisted:

  • Storage: Browser localStorage
  • Key format: graph-positions-{workspace}-{parentId}
  • Scope: Per-workspace and per-parent context
  • Validation: Positions outside bounds (50000) are filtered

Positions are saved after: - Dragging nodes - Layout operations (relax, reset) - Graph updates
