Representation of groups of nodes
A group of nodes (a subgraph, path region or neighbor region) can be
- Folded into a summary node,
- Presented in a box,
- Represented as a cluster,
- Wrapped, or
- Represented exclusively.
Folding
The nodes belonging to a folded group are hidden. They are represented by a single node called the summary node. Summary nodes are usually drawn in a different shape and/or color (see GDL in a Nutshell), so that they can be recognized and selected for the reverse operation.
The folding operation can be chosen for a
- Subgraph (menu item Fold Subgraph or press the 'f' key),
- Path region (Fold Region...),
- Neighbor region (Fold Neighbors...), or
- Box (Fold Box).
Summary nodes
A summary node represents all the nodes of a group that was folded dynamically, i.e. by a folding operation, or statically, i.e. in the graph specification (see GDL in a Nutshell). A summary node can be selected and
- Unfolded (menu item Unfold/Unbox or press the 'u' key),
- Unfolded into a box (Unfold into Box or 'x'),
- Unfolded and represented as a cluster (Unfold into Cluster or 't'),
- Unfolded and wrapped (Unfold and Wrap or 'w'),
- Drawn exclusively (Exclusive)
