"""Create an Obsidian canvas file with the provided nodes and edges.
This tool creates a .canvas file compatible with Obsidian's Canvas feature,
allowing visualization of relationships between concepts or documents.
For the full JSON Canvas 1.0 specification, see the 'spec://canvas' resource.
Args:
nodes: List of node objects following JSON Canvas 1.0 spec
edges: List of edge objects following JSON Canvas 1.0 spec
title: The title of the canvas (will be saved as title.canvas)
folder: The folder where the file should be saved
Returns:
A summary of the created canvas file
Important Notes:
- When referencing files, use the exact file path as shown in Obsidian
Example: "folder/Document Name.md" (not permalink format)
- For file nodes, the "file" attribute must reference an existing file
- Nodes require id, type, x, y, width, height properties
- Edges require id, fromNode, toNode properties
- Position nodes in a logical layout (x,y coordinates in pixels)
- Use color attributes ("1"-"6" or hex) for visual organization
Basic Structure:
```json
{
"nodes": [
{
"id": "node1",
"type": "file", // Options: "file", "text", "link", "group"
"file": "folder/Document.md",
"x": 0,
"y": 0,
"width": 400,
"height": 300
}
],
"edges": [
{
"id": "edge1",
"fromNode": "node1",
"toNode": "node2",
"label": "connects to"
}
]
}
