Option to always show expand/collapse cues

[ripfire44]

Is it possible to keep the cues visibile? I'm trying to make the expand/collapse accessible to those with touch only interface (ie tablets).

@ripfire44 Keeping visual cues visible all the time is problematic since they are drawn on a separate canvas and we have refresh issues. A workaround would be to not display visual cues at all but map a certain gesture on a compound to do expand/collapse.

This would be a very helpful feature for me too, on mouse interfaces.
Any ideas for implementation before this is actually implemented?

What I am currently doing in my implementation is that I am using an image as a node background image, and calculating click on that based on mouse click position. The difficulty is that i need to have the cue outside the circular node boundary (but within the bounding box), and am not able to get the click event on the node. Any comments on how to improve this?

cytoscape.style.width = width; cytoscape.style.height = height; cy.resize();
I noticed when updating the size of cytoscape canvas directly and then calling cy.resize();
does not update the canvas for visual cues. Seems as if their dimensions are bounded by old canvas size. Any workaround for this behavior?
