Drag one node over the other

[dubacher]

I would like to create new edges between nodes by dragging one node over another. "Dropping" one node over another would create a new edge between them. I had the following idea to implement this feature.

1. When drag starts I turn off the physics
2. I listen to dragEnd and hoverNode events. Because the physics is turned off I can drag one node over another one.
3. As soon as dragEnd event is triggered I link the dragged node with the one I'am over at this very moment.
4. Turn on the physics again.

Unfortunately this doesn't work as the hover event does not catch the nodes I'am hovering over when dragging a node at the same time.

Question: Is there another way to implement this feature as it doesn't seem to work out with the approach I described above. I wonder whether there is a function "give me all nodes a given node is currently collisioning with".

Thanks for any help.

Is it possible to get answer to my question? Let me know in case I need to express my question more clearly.

I'm truly sorry about the delay; there are so many issues that I have to triage. I'm afraid your issue is one of the ones that I keep on skipping. It's still here, so it isn't forgotten.

@dubacher Do you still think it is worthwhile to keep this issue open?
