Graph Microscope

Mapbox-style level-of-detail on the cultivar graph. Zoomed out, only the high-connection hubs render — cleanly readable. Zoom in, and the rest of the cultivars fade in around them. Click any cultivar to fly the camera there. Arrow keys step ancestor (←) and descendant (→); spacebar fits the whole graph.

Design notes

Built on the same force-graph canvas as the production /graph page, but with Mapbox-style semantic level-of-detail layered on top. Visibility floor steps with globalScale— degree ≥ 8 at overview, ≥ 4 at hubs, ≥ 2 at neighborhood, everything visible at detail. Inspiration from Sigma.js large-graph rendering and State of the Graph 2026 on density-adaptive focus. Era fill via cultivar-era.ts.
