Feature request - disappearing background edges

[jcarlen]

Hi, hopefully this is the right place to leave a feature request. I created a graph (you can see here: http://www.stat.ucla.edu/~jane.carlen/pages/movie_net.html) and because of its density I would like background edges to disappear (instead of just being grayed out) when I select a node. Alternatively, the highlighted edges could be moved to the front, but I think that would be more difficult. If this feature is already available, please let me know. And also let me know if any further info/clarification/replication example is needed. Thank you!

Hi, I'll add this parameter soon, to be enabled to choose the color/opacity of edges and nodes using this feature.

Hi,

I've just add a new argument in visOptions. You can now choose the color abd the opacity of hidden edges and nodes. This is an example :

nodes <- data.frame(id = 1:15, label = paste("Label", 1:15),
 group = sample(LETTERS[1:3], 15, replace = TRUE))

edges <- data.frame(from = trunc(runif(15)*(15-1))+1,
 to = trunc(runif(15)*(15-1))+1)
 
# don't show nodes/edges
visNetwork(nodes, edges) %>% visOptions(highlightNearest = list(enabled = TRUE, 
 hover = TRUE, hideColor = 'rgba(200,200,200,0)'))

Hi,

This is a great option. However, It doesn't seem to work when I set edge color manually by providing a color column in the edges data.frame.

Hi,
Yes, at moment, highlightNearest / selectedBy unfortunately don't support edge color. Working well if edge color depends of nodes...

It's on my to do list.

Hi, it appears that highlightNearest / selectedBy still don't support edge color, have you managed to work on that ?

Thank you
