EM Graph Project

Tools v1.6 StratiGraph ↗ EMtools

Description

Umbrella project for the in-Blender graph visualization and authoring stack. Covers: (1) Node Editor — a dedicated Blender Node Editor space that renders the s3Dgraphy graph natively, with dynamic node generation, edge-type filters and a colour scheme aligned with the yEd palette. Currently shipping as the ‘EMGraph (Experimental)’ panel and Node Editor space. (2) Mini Graph — a lightweight view that extracts and shows the neighborhood of a single Stratigraphic Unit (SU soloing + immediate predecessors/successors), so authors can inspect a node’s context without loading the full graph. (3) Authoring helpers that consume the shared graph view: SU soloing (isolate with neighbors), activity list with proxy toggles, ‘Extract more info’ action that spawns a Mini Graph from the current selection, and a two-way link between the Stratigraphy Manager selection and the Node Editor. Successor to the former ‘Stratigraphy Manager+’ concept: the graph-centric tooling is unified under a single project name.

Status

Notes

Renamed from 'Stratigraphy Manager+'. EMGraph Node Editor already ships as experimental; Mini Graph and authoring helpers targeted for 1.6.
