⚙️ Komplexná príručka konfigurácie

Krok 1: Pripravte obsah SVG

Vytvorenie opatrenia SVG: Uistite sa, že váš SVG obsahuje platné značky s jedinečnými id atribúty
Identifikátory zápasu: Hodnoty NodeId musia zodpovedať prvku SVG id atribúty presne
Čistá štruktúra: Používajte konzistentnú veľkosť a vyhýbajte sa zložitým transformáciám
Neutrálne farby: Používajte neutrálne farby SVG; nechajte vizuálnu kontrolu nad farebnosťou
Edge-Ready Design: Design edge paths to work well with proportional width scaling

Obsah SVG =

Mapovanie dátových rolí EdgeId, SourceId a TargetId
Zabezpečenie zhody hodnôt SourceId/TargetId s existujúcimi hodnotami NodeId
Skontrolujte nastavenie nepriehľadnosti okrajov (môže byť nastavené príliš nízko)
Overenie poradia vykresľovania okrajov (popredie vs. pozadie)
Najprv otestujte s vysoko kontrastnými farbami okrajov
