Expanding and Hiding Nodes
Related Topics:
Simplify a complicated graph by showing only relevant nodes and hiding the rest of the nodes in the background. You can choose to view nodes that have nodes connected to them in one direction or those with connected nodes in either direction.
To expand nodes:
- 1. Select one or more nodes by pressing the Shift key and clicking on each node in the Call Graph Pane or the Class Graph Pane.
- 2. From the Nodes Menu (Call Graph Window) or the Nodes Menu (Class Graph Window), choose one of the Expand commands.
- Double-click on the node to expand the node in both directions (same as Nodes
Expand Both).
To hide nodes, choose one of the following commands from the Nodes menu:
- Hide Selected. Hides the selected nodes from view.
- Hide Non-Selected. Hides all but the selected nodes from view.
- Hide Unconnected. Hides all nodes that do not have connections to another node (no need to select a node to use this command).
To show all nodes in the database:
- Choose Nodes Show All to expand all nodes in both directions.
To clear all nodes from the graph:
- Choose Nodes Clear All to clear the graph pane.
To restore a previous node:
- 1. Click on the arrow at the end of the Function or Class text box to open the history list.
- 2. Click on the desired function name or class name to return the node to the graph pane.
- Only the original nodes for the selected item are redisplayed in the graph pane. The relationship of the chosen node to other nodes must be reconstructed.
