Hi,

to improve editing speed and minimize the number of taps, you cannot  
beat:

d. query user for label as soon as the node is generated


Otherwise, I was happy to do it via the menu. I was more limited due  
to missing some general editing functions:

Thinking from a mindmap perspective, I missed ways to
- select entire subgraphs: allow users to change between "zoom" and  
"select" pinch in edit mode and
- modify entire subgraphs: copy, paste, rewire as well as the menu  
options to colorize etc.

Also, explicit notions of copy, paste (of subgraphs!), undo, redo  
would be great. I, personally, would prefer a (perhaps configurable)  
button bar instead of shaking for any of these functions.


I am using graphviz to create&discuss biological pathway diagrams  
with biologists, and instaviz is a great way to visualize/edit them  
on the go.

Thanks a lot for taking customer opinions into account!

Robert
