# Floating buttons
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Depending on the current note, a panel will appear near the top-right of the note, right underneath the [Ribbon](Ribbon.md). These buttons offer additional interaction that is specific to that particular note.
|
||||
|
||||
For example:
|
||||
|
||||
* For [Mermaid Diagrams](../../Note%20Types/Mermaid%20Diagrams.md) and [Canvas](../../Note%20Types/Canvas.md), there are buttons to download the SVG representation of the note, or to copy a reference to the note for pasting it a [Text](../../Note%20Types/Text.md) note.
|
||||
* For [read-only notes](../Notes/Read-Only%20Notes.md), there is a button to temporarily edit the note for quick modifications.
|
||||
|
||||
## Interaction
|
||||
|
||||
The floating button area can be collapsed by pressing the two right arrows at the end of the section.

# Mermaid Diagrams
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Trilium supports Mermaid, which adds support for various diagrams such as flowchart, sequence diagram, class diagram, state diagram, pie charts, etc., all using a text description of the chart instead of manually drawing the diagram.
|
||||
|
||||
For the official documentation of Mermaid.js see [mermaid.js.org/intro/](https://mermaid.js.org/intro/).
|
||||
|
||||
## ELK layout engine
|
||||
## Layouts
|
||||
|
||||
Mermaid supports a different layout engine which supports slightly more complex diagrams, called the [Eclipse Layout Kernel (ELK)](https://eclipse.dev/elk/). Trilium has support for these as well, but it's not enabled by default.
|
||||
Depending on the chart being edited and user preference, there are two layouts supported by the Mermaid note type:
|
||||
|
||||
In order to activate ELK for any diagram, insert the following YAML frontmatter right at the beginning of the diagram:
|
||||
* Horizontal, where the source code (editable part) is on the left side of the screen and the preview is to the right.
|
||||
* Vertical, where the source code is at the bottom of the screen and the preview is at the top.
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
---
|
||||
config:
|
||||
layout: elk
|
||||
---
|
||||
```
|
||||
It's possible to switch between the two layouts at any time by pressing the  icon in the [Floating buttons](../Basic%20Concepts%20and%20Features/UI%20Elements/Floating%20buttons.md) area.

|  |  |
|
||||
## Interaction
|
||||
|
||||
* The source code of the diagram (in Mermaid format) is displayed on the left or bottom side of the note (depending on the layout).
|
||||
* Changing the diagram code will refresh automatically the diagram.
|
||||
* The preview of the diagram is displayed at the right or top side of the note (depending on the layout):
|
||||
* There are dedicated buttons at the bottom-right of the preview to control the zoom in, zoom out or re-center the diagram: 
|
||||
* The preview can be moved around by holding the left mouse button and dragging.
|
||||
* Zooming can also be done by using the scroll wheel.
|
||||
* The zoom and position on the preview will remain fixed as the diagram changes, to be able to work more easily with large diagrams.
|
||||
* In the [Floating buttons](../Basic%20Concepts%20and%20Features/UI%20Elements/Floating%20buttons.md) area:
|
||||
* The source/preview can be laid out left-right or bottom-top via the _Move editing pane to the left / bottom_ option.
|
||||
* Press _Lock editing_ to automatically mark the note as read-only. In this mode, the code pane is hidden and the diagram is displayed full-size. Similarly, press _Unlock editing_ to mark a read-only note as editable.
|
||||
* Press the _Copy image reference to the clipboard_ to be able to insert the image representation of the diagram into a text note. See [Image references](Text/Images/Image%20references.md) for more information.
|
||||
* Press the _Export diagram as SVG_ to download a scalable/vector rendering of the diagram. Can be used to present the diagram without degrading when zooming.
|
||||
* Press the _Export diagram as PNG_ to download a normal image (at 1x scale, raster) of the diagram. Can be used to send the diagram in more traditional channels such as e-mail.
|
||||
|
||||
## Errors in the diagram
|
||||
|
||||
If there is an error in the source code, the error will be displayed in an information pane.
|
||||
|
||||
During the state of an error, the diagram will no longer be rendered and the previously working diagram will remain in the preview section.

# Image references
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Image references are an easy way to embed the preview of another note type into a [Text](../../Text.md) note.
|
||||
|
||||
## Supported note types
|
||||
|
||||
* [Canvas](../../Canvas.md)
|
||||
* [Mermaid Diagrams](../../Mermaid%20Diagrams.md)
|
||||
* [Mind Map](../../Mind%20Map.md)
|
||||
|
||||
## Steps
|
||||
|
||||
1. Go to one of the supported notes (listed above) and look for the  button in the [Floating buttons](../../../Basic%20Concepts%20and%20Features/UI%20Elements/Floating%20buttons.md) area.
|
||||
2. Go to a [Text](../../Text.md) note and use the Paste function to insert the reference to that note.
|
||||
|
||||
## Interaction
|
||||
|
||||
* Double-clicking an image reference from a text note will automatically open the target note.
|
||||
* Clicking an image reference while <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> is pressed will open the target note in a new tab.
|
||||
* Modifying the target note should also update the image reference. If that doesn't happen, consider [Refreshing the application](../../../Troubleshooting/Refreshing%20the%20application.md).
