Showing or Hiding Nodes

You can simplify a complicated graph by showing only relevant nodes and hiding the rest of the nodes in the background. You can view just nodes that have nodes connected to them, or those with connected nodes in only one direction.

Expanding Nodes

Nodes that are expandable appear with a thicker box border. Double-clicking these nodes displays the child and parent nodes (do the same thing by choosing Expand Both).

To expand nodes:

1. Select one or more nodes by holding down the Shift key and clicking on each node.

2. From the Nodes menu, choose one of the Expand commands, or double-click on the node to expand a single node in both directions.

Showing Nodes

To show all nodes in the database, choose Nodes > Show All.

To restore a previous node:

1. Click the arrow button at the end of the Function or Class text box to open the history list.

2. Click the desired function name or class name to return the node to the pane.

   Only the original nodes for the selected item are redisplayed in the pane. The relationship of the chosen node to other nodes must be reconstructed.

Hiding Nodes

To hide nodes, choose one of the following commands from the Nodes menu:

To clear all nodes from the pane, choose Nodes > Clear All.
