## Setting the Org-roam Directory |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Perhaps the single most important variable to set is |
|
|
|
|
`org-roam-directory`. Set `org-roam-directory` to the folder |
|
|
|
|
containing all your Org files: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```emacs-lisp |
|
|
|
|
(setq org-roam-directory "/path/to/org/") |
|
|
|
|
``` |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Every Org file, at any level of nesting, within `/path/to/org/` is |
|
|
|
|
considered part of the Org-roam ecosystem. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Org-roam Buffer |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Org-roam buffer defaults to popping up from the right. You may |
|
|
|
|
choose to set it to pop up from the left with `(setq |
|
|
|
|
org-roam-buffer-position 'left)`. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Org-roam buffer name can also be renamed: e.g. `(setq |
|
|
|
|
org-roam-buffer "*my-buffer-name*")`. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Org-roam buffer width is adjustable via `org-roam-buffer-width`. |
|
|
|
|
The value of `org-roam-buffer-width` set as a percentage of the total |
|
|
|
|
frame width. For example: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```emacs-lisp |
|
|
|
|
(setq org-roam-buffer-width 0.4) |
|
|
|
|
``` |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Will result in the Org-roam buffer taking up 40% of the screen width. |
|
|
|
|
I have found this to be a good number. |

## Org-roam Links |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By default, links are inserted with the title as the link description. |
|
|
|
|
This can make them hard to distinguish from external links. If you |
|
|
|
|
wish, you may choose add special indicators for Org-roam links by |
|
|
|
|
tweaking `org-roam-link-title-format`, for example: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```emacs-lisp |
|
|
|
|
(setq org-roam-link-title-format "R:%s") |
|
|
|
|
``` |

## Org-roam Graph Viewer |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Org-roam generates an SVG image using |
|
|
|
|
[Graphviz](https://graphviz.org/). For more information about this |
|
|
|
|
functionality, see the [Usage](TODO) page. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Org-roam tries its best to locate the Graphviz executable from your |
|
|
|
|
PATH, but if it fails to do so, you may set it manually: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``` |
|
|
|
|
(setq org-roam-graphviz-executable "/path/to/dot") |
|
|
|
|
``` |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Org-roam also attempts to use Firefox (located on PATH) to view the |
|
|
|
|
SVG, you may choose to set it to any compatible program: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``` |
|
|
|
|
(setq org-roam-graph-viewer "/path/to/image-viewer") |
|
|

|
``` |
