Edge Color By

Attribute / Endpoint

2. Edge Color By Attribute / Endpoint
The Edge Type combo box indicates that we are specifying how edges of this type will be colored.
 
The Color By combo box indicates how edges of this type will be colored.  Possible Color By values are:
  • Single: Edges will be colored as indicated in the Edge Type Colors table on the left.
  • Endpoint: Edges will be colored based on the color of the node at their endpoint.
  1. If the Edge is a relation between two different entity types, you can select to color the edge by either of the endpoint types.
  2. If the Edge is a directed relation, on can color the edge by the source endpoint or the destination endpoint.
  3. Undirected edges can not be colored by endpoint because the endpoints may be different colors.
  • Attribute: Edges will be colored based on their value for the specified Attribute.
