Dynamic Node Size

Dynamically size graph nodes in Obsidian based on their connected nodes (including children). Features configurable multiplier, scale, and maximum size limits.

Features

• Dynamic Sizing: Node size is calculated based on the total number of connected nodes, including all children recursively.
• Configurable Multiplier: Adjust how much the number of connections affects node size.
• Multiplier Scale: Fine-tune the scaling of node sizes globally.
• Maximum Node Size: Prevents nodes from becoming excessively large.
• Maximum Depth: Control how deep the plugin traverses when calculating connected nodes (improves performance and focuses on relevant connections).
• Frontmatter Override: Set a custom size for any node using the node_size property in the note's frontmatter.
• Exclusions: Easily exclude folders, tags, or page titles from dynamic sizing using autocomplete pickers and text input.

Installation

1. Download or clone this repository into your Obsidian vault's plugins folder (usually .obsidian/plugins/dynamic-node-size).
2. Make sure the files main.js and manifest.json are present in the plugin folder.
3. Enable Dynamic Node Size in Obsidian's Community Plugins settings.

Usage

• Open your graph view in Obsidian. Node sizes will automatically update based on their connections.
• Adjust settings in Settings → Community Plugins → Dynamic Node Size to fine-tune the behavior.

Settings

Node Size Controls

• Size Multiplier: Controls how much the number of connected nodes affects the node size (number input, 1-10).
• Multiplier Scale: Additional global scaling factor for all node sizes (number input, 1-5).
• Maximum Node Size: Caps the maximum size a node can reach (number input, 10-200).
• Maximum Depth: Limits how deep the plugin traverses when calculating connected nodes. Lower values improve performance and focus on direct connections (number input, 1-20, default: 3).
• Restore to Default: Resets only the above number inputs to their default values.

Exclusions

• Exclude Folders: Add folders to exclude from dynamic sizing using an autocomplete picker. Remove folders with a single click.
• Exclude Tags: Add tags to exclude from dynamic sizing using an autocomplete picker. Remove tags with a single click.
• Exclude Page Titles: Enter one page title or regex per line. Matching nodes will be excluded from dynamic sizing.

Frontmatter Override

To manually set a node's size, add the following to your note's frontmatter:

---
node_size: 10
