# Graph Properties
The graph has the following properties:
- Modules are shown in gray with rounded corners while topics are displayed as coloured rectangular boxes.
- Associated modules and topics are connected by lines. Dashed lines indicate that the module publishes the topic, solid lines indicate that the module subscribes to the topic, while dot-dashed lines indicate that the module both publishes and subscribes to the topic.
- Some modules and topics are excluded:
- Topics that are subscribed/published by many modules:
parameter_update
,mavlink_log
andlog_message
. - The set of logged topics.
- Topics that have no subscriber or no publisher.
- Modules in src/examples.
- Topics that are subscribed/published by many modules:
- Hovering over a module/topic highlights all its connections.
- Double-clicking on a topic opens its message definition.
- Make sure your browser window is wide enough to display the full graph (the sidebar menu can be hidden with the icon in the top-left corner). You can also zoom the image.
- The Preset selection list allows you to refine the list of modules that are shown.
- The Search box can be used to find particular modules/topics (topics that are not selected by the search are greyed-out).
