Edge Types

Edge Types is a standard configuration interface for adding, editing, and removing the Edge Types that are used between objects in the Orient database. These custom types are used to define edges within the database and how they are represented indicating their name and display characteristics. Deleting an Edge Type will cascade delete any existing edges, along with the edge properties.

Note

Great care should be taken when modifying anything in the database as mis-configurations can cause unintended results.

Refer to the Standard Configuration Interface guide for details on interacting with the grid and form.

This user interface calls REST methods from api/graph/edgeTypes.

The UI path for this interface is Configuration -> Graph -> Edge Types.

Form Fields

  • Name - The name of the edge type.

  • Line Style - Type of line to use.

  • Dash Pattern - If Line Style is set to "Dashed", the details of how the dash line is to be displayed.

  • Direction - Flag indicating navigational flow between edged objects.

    • Directed indicates the relationship is only parent to child.

    • Non-Directed indicates the relationship is bidirectional between objects.
