Please note:

aiSee offers a number of complex selection procedures (e.g. for selecting sets of subgraphs). The user is guided through these procedures by instructions in the message window. We also recommend running the aiSee demo which includes step-by-step introductions to many features.

Navigation

• Scroll through graphs using the cursor keys.
• Move graphs:
  1. Press any mouse button and hold it down.
  2. Drag across the graph window.
  3. The graph is moved after the mouse button is released.
• See submenu Position->Scroll for advanced navigation features.
• Using the panner window:
  1. Select Panner in the Position->Scroll submenu to open the panner window.
  2. Move the dashed rectangle around in the panner window to browse through the graph.
• Use picking position: Strike 'p'. The mouse pointer turns into a +. Now you can do either of the following:
  • Changing the focus: Click in the graph window using any mouse button to shift the focus to the upper right corner of the window (in normal view) or to set the focus (in fish eye-view).
  • Rubberbanding: Press the left mouse button and hold it down. Now drag the mouse pointer across a portion of the graph to zoom it to window size.
• Strike 'n' to open the Center Node dialog box.
• Strike 'e' to initiate Follow Edge navigation. Detailed instructions will be given in the message window.

Scaling

• Use the horizontal scrollbar to scale graphs.
• Use the keys '+' or '-' to magnify or to scale down the graph.
• Strike 'm' to set the scale factor so that the entire graph fits in the graph window (maximum aspect).
• Strike '0' to set the scale factor to normal (100% absolute).

Additional node information

• See submenu Misc->Information.
• Use hot keys:
  1. Strike 'i', 'j', or 'k' to select information field 1, 2, or 3
  2. Select the node to show its information field
  3. Clicking inside the field causes it to be rehidden

Grouping of nodes

• See submenu Folding.
• Use hot keys:
  1. Strike 'f' to fold subgraphs into a summary node (Fold Subgraph), 'x' to unfold a summary node into a box (Unfold into Box), 'u' to unbox/unfold a summary node (Unbox/Unfold)
  2. Select one or several node(s)
  3. Right-click to apply

Quit aiSee

• Strike 'q' to quit aiSee.
