## 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")
|
||||||
|
```
