Graph

Neo4j dashboard graphs render returned nodes, relationships and paths. Configure the graph layout and nodes, relationships, labels and colors to your liking.

You can drag and drop nodes in the displayed graph.

Example

Cypher query for a graph which displays products which are part of the "produce" category
MATCH (p:Product)-[o:PART_OF]->(c:Category)
WHERE c.categoryName = "Produce"
RETURN p, o, c
visualization graph
Figure 1. A graph displaying the products which are part of the "produce" category

Configuration

Layout

Neo4j dashboard graphs have two layout options:

  1. Force-based layout, which spreads nodes evenly.

  2. Hierarchical layout, which respects the direction of relationships. Select one of: left to right, right to left, top to bottom, bottom to top.

Styling

Style your graph:

  1. Select node and relationship colors.

  2. Assign a width to relationship arrows.

  3. Assign node circle sizes.

  4. Select node and relationship captions from existing data fields.

Use the Styling drop down to select the scope of your styling options:

  1. Neo4j Console: this styling is used in your entire console.

  2. Dashboard: this styling is limited to the current dashboard.

  3. Card: this styling is only applied to the current card and graph visualization.

Finally, you can toggle the visibility of the side panel and the context menu of the graph.
