searching for nodes

[m.rainer]

Hi,

I would like to search for nodes (by name or other parameters) in my topology.

After finding I would like to "select" them.

So I have to iterate over all nodes.

This already works fine for all nodes shown in the current view. (found many different ways to do so p.e.:

topology.eachNode()

or

topology.graph().eachVertex()

and so on.

BUT:

As soon as a node is "hidden" behind a nodeSet this does not work.

So I am looking for a method to find all Nodes in my topology also those being hidden behind nodeSets.

topology.getData() does not help, as I can not select them there...

AND:
If I was able to find currently hidden nodes, and I select them, is there a way to select all nodeSet(s) that are parents of this node?

Again: Node is nested under NodeSets. If searched for that node I would like to "select" all the tree to the searched Node.

Ist this possible?

Thx a lot

Markus

Hi Markus,

there are couple steps you can fellow:

1. find vertex :  vertex = topo.graph().getVertex(ID)

2. check if vertex generated : vertex = generated()

3. if yes, just use topo.getNode(ID)

4. if not use this property find generated parent nodeset : var vs = vertex.generatedRootVertexSet(),

5 use topo.getNode(vs.id()) find parent nodeSet
