Obsidian's built-in Graph View is great, but not everyone has Obsidian installed on their machine. Sometimes you need to carry a snapshot with you to paint your ideas to friends and colleagues, and that's where EGV comes in.

EGV exports to two capable yet VERY different formats with that freedom in mind.

Quick Start

1. Install from Community Plugins
2. Chose focus mode (single parent or full graph)
3. Choose relationship strategy (tags, links, folders)
4. Export your new snapshot graph to your vault
5. Open with any Mermaid/GraphViz tool
6. Dataviz heaven on the go!

Easy Mermaid Graphs

Mermaid's limited scale makes it suited to smaller graphs, yet its big strength is how portable mermaid can be with minimal setup.

EGV's 'Single-parent focus' mode was built with .mmd format in mind. It's like a narrow lens on a specific note or tag you want to paint all relationships from in your exported chart. Try it out.

Then, for bigger visuals, exporting to .dot format is the recommend format.

Bigger Snapshots with Dot (GraphViz)

Full-graph focus is suited to .dot format and EGV lets you include relationship metadata in your exported .dot graph or cluster note-groups or tag-groups into subgraphs if you want to take full advantage of what .dot editors like Gephi can do.

Support

This tiny plugin is only passively maintained when I get an mail about package updates. I don't often use EGV anymore in my day to day.

Get in touch or create a Github issue if there's ever a blocking error.
