is supported to search for nodes/edges in large graphs, but it is best first to reset the scale to [1:1].
The live preview of the graph can now be:
This greatly facilitates viewing large graphs.
To facilitate working on graph files in the editor, or visualizing files that are created by programs (i.e. search algorithms), the preview can be auto-scaled:
Double clicking on the fit-to-width [↔] or fit-to-height [↕] buttons toggles the given mode on, so when the graph source changes, the preview scales automatically to remain visible.
The zoom level value may be now set to a specific value, or gradually changed by the up/down keys on the keyboard.
Click the [↓] button and select the location of the .svg file. The file may be open in any web browser, or attached to an email etc...
It is also possible to open the file in the default browser by clicking on [⇱]. This creates a temp file and asks the operating system to open it in a default browser or another capable application.
