Toolbar Overview


The UI toolbar is home to a large suite of powertools for manipulating and exploring your graph. The toolbar is broken down into 5 major sections: Graph Tools directly manipulate the graph visualization's appearance and behavior, Selection Tools select/inspect and move graph elements, Filter Tools quickly filter and exclude and show the current values, Inspection Tools open and close the various data inspection panels, and Workbook Tools take you fullscreen, open in a new tab, and share your current graph.
