Options to reduce diagram clutter

[keyserj]

Describe your issue

There are a lot of UI pieces that aren't always necessary to show.

If I just want to see the diagram structure, I don't need to see:

• scores
• indicators
• edge details (most of the time, edge label is inferable based on the nodes being connected)
• node handles

If I'm not color-blind and am familiar with the tool, I don't need to see:

• node type label

Solution you'd like

Clutter Config (or some wording like that?) section in the More Actions Drawer, with options:

• Show scores
• Show indicators
• Show edge details
• Show node handles
• Show node labels

Also:

• when edge details are hidden, a dot could be shown instead that can be hovered to show all the details
• probably edge details can be hidden by default? to reduce clutter for new users, with the dot being easily-accessible
• the rest of clutter config probably should show by default, because they don't seem to have an easy low-clutter-but-still-convey-info option

Clutter config should be:

• per-user + persisted across topics
• not saved with the current view

Questions:

• what UX for these options?
  • toggle switches would take up a lot of space but wouldn't require finding distinct icons per option
  • icons per options would save a lot of space but annoying to find, probably not worth finding

Alternatives you've considered

No response

Additional context

• node handles really should always be hidden if read-only and handle is not indicating hidden neighbors

Technical ideas and questions

• node handles being "hidden" might need to mean "really small" - I think they at least need to be rendered so that edges can connect to them
