Hide/show elements in a g6 graph

Source: R/proxy.R
g6-element-toggle.Rd

This function hides/shows specified elements (nodes, edges, or combos) in a g6 graph. Hidden elements are removed from view but remain in the graph data structure.

Usage

g6_hide_elements(graph, ids, animation = NULL)

g6_show_elements(graph, ids, animation = NULL)

Arguments

graph

A g6 graph object or a g6_proxy object for Shiny applications.

ids

Character vector specifying the IDs of elements to hide/show. Can include node IDs, edge IDs, or combo IDs.

animation

Boolean to toggle animation.

Value

The modified g6 graph or g6_proxy object, allowing for method chaining.

Details

When elements are hidden, they are removed from the visual display but still exist in the underlying data structure. This means they can be shown again later using g6_show_elements without having to recreate them.

Hidden elements will not participate in layout calculations, which may cause other elements to reposition. When elements are shown again, the graph may recalculate layout positions, which can cause other elements to reposition.
