Keep some nodes highlighted after a new search for comparison purposes #7
Description
I love all the extra functions that have been added to PlotVis. Having used the interface to produce literary criticism, I definitely recommend adjusting the search mode so that any selected nodes are cleared once a query is made. That's because I'm usually using the search mode to filter out anything but what I'm looking for.
That said, it would be cool to have a function that allows users to kind of cherry-pick one (or more than one) node to keep highlighted after completing a search. This would allow for comparisons between a cluster of elements and one particular element.
Selecting more than one node is certainly doable.
In order to compare though maybe we would need to save the result for each search (accompanied by the node selection).
I think we could name each search result and add a visual representation of it for easy retrieval ( a snapshot of the structure like a top down view for the fibonacci, the texture used for the wall structure, etc).
