SS6 - How to: Clean up Graph Locations

Two new commands are available on SS6 to clean up the clutter of node repositioning:

• To record Graph Locations: gc graph applylocations
• To remove Graph Locations: gc graph deletelocations

'gc graph applylocations' will take the most recent node locations and apply them to the original nodes. Shown in the image below, note the two moves in the 'Before' state and how transactions 7 and 8 which were just node repositioning transactions, are deleted and the last node position is added to the original node instance.

the 'gc graph deletelocations' command strips all of the location entries from the transactions applying default spacing to the nodes with quite tidy results in my (simple!) example:

If you examine the transactions after running this command you will find that all the lines:

GraphLocation             = {xxx.x, yyy.y};

have been removed.
