Installation

1. Create the folder .obsidian/plugins/static-graph-nodes/ in your vault.
2. Put main.js and manifest.json into that folder.
3. Restart Obsidian or enable the plugin in Settings → Community Plugins.

How it works

• The plugin locates the active Graph View and accesses its renderer.
• Pinning fixes the node position, posts a forceNode message to the worker, sets fx/fy, and zeroes velocities.
• Coordinates of pinned nodes are stored in the plugin settings and synchronized after drags.
• Pins are reapplied on layout-change and at the configured interval.

Notices

• Multiple graphs open; activate the one you need
• No selected nodes on the graph
