Thank you both for the answers and clarifications (Terry). Everything was very useful.
Edward: Yes, im trying the following code without success: thelist=p.subtree() > for p in thelist: > g.es(p) > p.deletePositionsInList(thelist) > c.redraw() Also tried several variations but cant get it to work (the list on the log will be correct and be the list in the nodes, but the command deletepositionsinlist just wont do anything). My only guess is that it needs just the position not the full node description, so I am reading on which command isolates that. Any further suggestions from there? Thanks.
