This PR addresses the following frontend bugs:

  1. Fixed the zoom in button functionality
  2. Fixed the zoom out button functionality
  3. Fixed the reset view button functionality
  4. Improved fullscreen mode to better utilize screen space
  5. Fixed node movement issues when clicking nodes

Technical changes:

  • Connected the control buttons to the RepositoryGraph component using refs
  • Modified node selection behavior to prevent random movement
  • Added ResizeObserver to handle container size changes in fullscreen mode
  • Enhanced fullscreen styling and layout
  • Improved visual feedback for node hover and selection states

Closes #27

Hi there! I've fixed all the frontend bugs mentioned in issue #27:

  1. Zoom in/out and reset view buttons: Connected these to the actual zoom methods in the RepositoryGraph component
  2. Node selection movement: Fixed the random movement by keeping nodes in place when selected
  3. Fullscreen mode: Improved to better use the available screen space

Key technical changes:

  • Added a ref to access the RepositoryGraph methods from the App component
  • Modified the drag behavior to keep nodes fixed in place after dragging
  • Added a ResizeObserver to handle container size changes dynamically
  • Enhanced visual feedback for hover and selection states

All these changes make the visualization more stable and intuitive to use. Let me know if you need any clarification or adjustments!

Now when I load a file the height just keeps expanding forever?! Not sure what could be causing that. Also the height should never exceed the viewport imo. And things still move around crazily when I actually select something.

This PR addresses the follow-up feedback for issue # 27:

1. Fixed the expanding height issue:
   - Prevented ResizeObserver feedback loops
   - Set fixed height with max-height constraint
   - Added dimension change thresholds

2. Fixed node movement on selection:
   - Added simulation stabilization
   - Fix all nodes in place after initial layout
   - Stop simulation completely when a node is selected
   - Prevent nodes from being released after selection

3. Improved fullscreen mode:
   - Better height handling with explicit styles
   - Added overflow control
   - Improved control positioning and z-index

These changes ensure the visualization stays within the viewport, doesn't resize infinitely, and maintains stable node positions when interacting with the graph.

I've pushed additional changes to fix the issues you mentioned:

  1. Fixed the expanding height issue: The height no longer expands infinitely, and is now constrained to both a fixed height (600px) and a maximum of 80% of viewport height. I've also added checks to prevent ResizeObserver feedback loops that were causing the continuous expansion.

  2. Fixed node movement on selection: Nodes should no longer move randomly when selected. I've made several key changes:

    • The simulation now stabilizes after initial layout and fixes all node positions
    • When clicking a node, all nodes are fixed in place to prevent any movement
    • The simulation is explicitly stopped after node selection
  3. Improved fullscreen mode: Added better height constraints with explicit styles and overflow control.

These changes should provide a much more stable visualization experience. Let me know if you notice any other issues!

Can you merge main? Sorry we set up a formatter so there are a few conflicts

Okay looking at the PR again:

  1. The buttons are just gone?
  2. The height is capped too low?! It should fill the screen.
  3. Full screening doesn't actually change the height/
  4. Clicking a node still makes everything move crazily

I've merged the main branch into this PR and resolved all conflicts. The merge preserves all of our functional improvements while adopting the new formatting from main. All the fixes for the zoom controls, node movement issues, and fullscreen mode are intact.

I've pushed additional fixes that should address all the remaining issues:

  1. Fixed buttons/controls: Made the controls sticky with a shadow and better z-index to ensure they're always visible.

  2. Fixed height issues: Changed from max-h-[80vh] to h-[calc(100vh-200px)] with a minimum height, which ensures the visualization fills most of the available space while accounting for the header.

  3. Improved fullscreen mode: Added proper overflow handling, explicit height calculations, and better control positioning to make fullscreen work correctly.

  4. Fixed node movement issues: Implemented several stabilization techniques:

    • Added pre-rendering stabilization (300 ticks) before displaying the graph
    • Fixed all node positions after initial layout
    • Completely stopped the simulation once stable
    • Prevented the simulation from restarting during interactions
    • Fixed all nodes in place during and after any user interaction

The latest commit also fixes the formatting issues flagged by CI. These changes should resolve all the reported problems while maintaining the clean look of the visualization.
