Cytoscape Desktop: Hide unselected edges in filter?

Question

I have a Cytoscape 3.4.0 graph with many edges and thus created a selection filter.

I set the style color of unselected edges to the background color but they still obstruct the selected edges.

Is it possible to hide unselected edges completely?

Answer 1

Go to Control Panel -> Style -> Edge. Click on Properties and check Visible. Go to Visible, set Column to selected, Mapping Type to Discrete Mapping and map true to true and false to false. This may bug out and not display the mapping key for true, in that case either set the default value to true first or select a different column and then set the mapping again.
