Summary Nodes

  A summary node appears after a folding operation. It represents all the nodes grouped by the folding operation.

Usually summary nodes can be distinguished from normal graph nodes (e.g. they are drawn in a different shape and/or color) so that they can be recognized as summary nodes. Then they can be selected and unfolded.

A summary node can be

• unfolded (menu item Unfold/Unbox or press the u key),    
• unfolded into a box (menu item Unfold into Box or press the x key),  
• unfolded and represented as a cluster (menu item Unfold into Cluster, press the t key),  
• unfolded and wrapped (menu item Unfold and Wrap or press the w key),  
• drawn exclusively (menu item Exclusive).
