 Notes
 =====

+.. [#notalldimensions] In fact, usually only a user-selected set
+   of relationship types is shown at any particular time.
+   This way, the information shown is that relevant to the
+   task at hand.
+
+   For example, when composing e-mail to the attendants of a meeting,
+   the attendants' birthdays are very likely unimportant to us
+   at that time. Deselecting "birthday" in a list of property types
+   hides that information.
 
 .. [#fig1note] This visualization has parallels in
    focus+context and hyperbolic tree views [XXXref].
