Quick Start
Open the Minimap
In a supported graph editor:
- Open the graph you want to work in.
- Use the
Windowmenu. - Choose
Graph Minimap.
A keyboard shortcut can also toggle the minimap. If it does not trigger in a specific editor, check Unreal Editor keyboard shortcut conflicts and rebind it if needed.
Basic Controls
- Drag inside the minimap to pan the main graph view
- Use the mouse wheel over the minimap to zoom the graph view
- Use the search button to search nodes and comments
- Use bookmarks to save and return to important graph locations
- Use the settings button to open the plugin settings page directly
Large Graphs
Graph Minimap stays useful on both small and large graphs.
For dense graphs:
- the minimap can switch into dense graph mode
- the focus lens helps show local detail
- the viewport box still shows where you are in the larger graph
