Node Menu

The popup menu on Nodes contains the following items:

Edit Flow Diagram enables you to edit the child Flow Diagram for the selected Node. A Flow Diagram Editor window opens containing the child Flow Diagram, if one exists. Otherwise you can create the child diagram in this window.

Edit Mini Spec enables you to edit the Mini Specification of the selected Node. A Mini Spec Editor window opens containing the Mini Specification, if one exists. Otherwise you can create the Mini Specification in this window.

Hide Subtree (Tree Nodes only) enables you to hide part of the hierarchy (the subtree of the selected Node). To re-display the hidden subtree use "Unhide subtree" from the pop-up menu of the Node.A Node with no hidden subtree is represented by a rectangle. A Node with a hidden subtree is represented by a rectangle with a double border.

Unhide Subtree (Leaf Nodes only) enables you to re-display the previously hidden subtree of the selected Node. The hidden subtree is re-displayed in the hierarchy. Note that this operation is not possible if the subtree is hidden because of lack of space.

Generate Subtree enables you to look at part of the hierarchy (the subtree of the selected Node) The browser now displays just the subtree scaled to fit in the window. To re-display the whole hierarchy select "Regenerate" from the browser Edit menu.

Analyze

Including Subtree enables you to analyze the Flow Diagram of the selected Node and all Flow Diagrams below it in the hierarchy. This command is equivalent to selecting "Analyze including subtree" from the Flow Diagram Selector pop-up. When the analysis is complete an output window is displayed which contains a list of the errors found.

Excluding Subtree enables you to analyze the Flow Diagram of the selected Node only. No other Flow Diagrams will be analyzed. This command is equivalent to selecting "Analyze excluding subtree" from the Flow Diagram Selector pop-up. When the analysis is complete an output window is displayed which contains a list of the errors found.

Report

Including Subtree. Select this command to base your report on the Flow Diagram of the selected Node and all the Flow Diagrams beneath it in the hierarchy. This command is equivalent to selecting "Report including subtree" from the Flow Diagram Selector pop-up.

Excluding Subtree. Select this command to base your report on the selected Flow Diagram only. This command is equivalent to selecting "Report excluding subtree" from the Flow Diagram Selector pop-up.

Annotations

Flow Diagram enables you to access the Annotations for the Flow Diagram of the selected Node. If the Annotations do not already exist you can create them.

Mini Spec enables you to access the Annotations for the Mini Specification of the selected Node. If the Annotations do not already exist you can create them.
