Subgraphs

A graph can be partitioned into nested subgraphs. Subgraphs can be defined only statically, i.e. in the graph specification. (For dynamically defined node groups, see regions.) Subgraphs and summary nodes can be drawn in a special shape and/or color so as to be easily identified (see GDL in a Nutshell).

Operations

A subgraph can be

• Folded into a summary node (menu item Fold Subgraph),
• Presented in a box (Box Subgraph),
• Represented as a cluster (Cluster Subgraph),
• Wrapped (Wrap/Unwrap Subgraph), or
• Drawn exclusively (Exclusive Subgraph).

Selection

A subgraph is selected by clicking on one of its nodes. The interactive folding, boxing, clustering and wrapping operations allow more than one subgraph to be selected at the same time. Instructions appearing in the message window guide the user through the selection procedure.
