[SOLVED] Automatic zoom after filtering a graph object

[mdv]

I am working with a small graph (60 nodes, 300+ edges) and exporting the full graph to a pdf works fine. However, when I start to filter the graph (and thereby reducing the number of nodes and edges) the pdf printouts are automatically zoomed in. I want to keep the pdf printout ratio stable. So I want the node size and position to be stable. Is this possible? Thanks!

Not directly but you can tweak the margin option to reduce the "zooming" effect.

OK, so there is no way to keep the node size and position fully stable? If I understand it correctly, adjusting the margins is just a trail and error procedure? Thanks

It's a hack, but you can place nodes at two diagonal corners. You'll have to include a method in your filtering that does not remove these nodes but if you "settle" them, then they won't be affected by most of the layouts.
