Sandbox Access

You can use the sandbox access function to access a demo graph provided by the system to learn and use the functions of the graph editor.

In the navigation pane of the GES management console, click Access Sandbox. You can learn the page functions through Quick Start. The system runs the PageRank algorithm by default.

Algorithm Library

The algorithm library lists all algorithms supported by GES. You can set the properties of each algorithm in this area. Table 2 describes the functions of the algorithm area.

Gremlin Query

Gremlin is a graph traversal language in the open source graph calculation framework of Apache TinkerPop. You can use Gremlin to query, modify, and traverse graph data as well as filter properties. For details, see Gremlin Query.

Figure 3 Gremlin query

Gremlin in the sandbox experience environment does not support write and cyclic operations, such as repeat(), times(), until(), emit(), and loops().

Viewing Vertex Properties

On the canvas, select a vertex or an edge, right-click, and select View Property to view the property information about the selected vertex or edge on the Property tab page.

Search by Association

On the canvas, select a vertex, right-click, and select Search by Association to find vertices associated with the selected vertex. You can select OUT, IN, and ALL.
