From 4a34a9185be56464de95bacdc02f168058adcc0f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: tv Date: Sun, 8 Nov 2026 23:35:18 +0000 Subject: dashboard: how hard links pull, on a dynamic map On a dynamic map, links pull toward their lengths against the nodes pushing each other apart, at one strength. A `pull` slider before the layout's toggle, shown while dynamic, sets it from a quarter to four times as hard (2 to its value, once at first), kept in the browser; the map moves to the new balance smoothly. --- docs/dashboard.md | 8 ++++++-- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'docs') diff --git a/docs/dashboard.md b/docs/dashboard.md index 5c7ee13..de5fe3e 100644 --- a/docs/dashboard.md +++ b/docs/dashboard.md @@ -175,8 +175,12 @@ long as its round trip is slow, against the median link's, by the square root, f 0.4 to 2.5 times the usual length; links without a round trip keep the usual length.
