Accessing an Infinite Graph

To improve the display experience, you can use the infinite graph access mode to process and analyze graph data.

Currently, the only way to access and analyze infinite graphs is using Cypher queries.

The procedure is as follows:

1. Log in to the GES management console. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Graph Management.
2. In the graph list, locate the row containing the graph you want to access and analyze, click More in the Operation column, and select Access Infinite Graph.

3. If you use Cypher for the first time, click Create Index to create an index. (Skip this step if an index has been created.)
   Figure 2 Creating an index
   
4. Enter Cypher commands below and press Enter to execute them. The command output will be displayed on the canvas.

5. The vertices in the chart data are displayed in the upper right corner. You can click to hide them from the infinite graph on the canvas.

6. Check vertex and edge properties.
   1. When hovering over a vertex or edge in the canvas, its ID and properties are displayed.

   2. Double-click a vertex or edge in the canvas. In the displayed slide-out panel, you can check the properties of the vertex or edge.

7. Analyze the graph using the function keys in the upper right corner.

   Function Key	Description
   	Hides the function bar. Clicking it will collapse the function bar.
   	Fixes the function bar. After dragging the function bar to any position, clicking this button will fix the function bar in place.
   	Clears all content on the canvas.
   	Zooms in the graph. You can zoom in a graph to at most 600%.
   	Zooms out the graph. You can zoom out a graph to 5%.
   	Adapts to the graph. Clicking it will restore the graph to its appropriate canvas size.
   	Searches for vertices and edges in the entire graph data or the currently running data. Figure 8 Searching for data
   	Displays the current running results in a circular layout.
   	Displays the current running results in a grid layout.
   	Displays the current running results in a hierarchical layout.
   	Displays the current running results in an automatic segmentation layout.
   	An isolated vertex is a vertex that has no connection to other vertices and exists independently on the canvas. Clicking this button will highlight all isolated vertices on the canvas. If there are no isolated vertices, clicking this button will have no effect.
   	Select any vertex on the canvas and click this button to view all vertices associated with the currently selected vertex.
