Hi Team,

Could you please advise, how can we able to see the data from virtual graph in a "graph" visualization ?

Able to identify 2 options,

1. Selecting the query result in Stardog studio and click "visualize".
2. With Stardog explorer .

Both didn't work for my case. Could you please tell us what is missing , to get it work ?  
or do we need to get it done with external tool set ?

Below are the details !!

**1. Using Stardog studio** :

Selecting the results and clicking visualize, gives below result

Below is the query plan for "construct" query

```auto

**2. Using Stardog Explorer:**

tried searching for a movie name. but no luck.

Selected a database which has "fulltext search" properties enabled .

Selected Graph as "all" and also tried "selecting a particular virtual graph" in the below options.

Please advise, am i missing something / which is the right approach for graph based visualization of the data from virtual graph.

Requesting a help on this .

Thanks,

Hi @jess @pavel @noahgorstein ,

Trying out Stardog as a part of PoC to explore the capabilities of Stardog knowledge graph, where visualization is one of the key requirements.

Any thoughts on this would be really helpful.

Thanks in Advance,  
Muthu
