Many tools in the ProDev WorkShop toolkit and related products provide graphical views. The graphical view is a useful device for depicting relationships. Manipulating the Display, Section A.2 Filtering Nodes and Arcs, Section A.3 A.1 General Graphical View Characteristics Graphical views provide data overviews that show the relationships between entities. When entities represent source code, double-clicking a node brings up Source View , which displays the corresponding code in a format that is available for editing. A typical graphical view appears in Figure 14 .
Graphical views have a display area with a row of controls underneath it.
If the graph is larger than the viewing area, scroll bars are be enabled. Since an overwhelming amount of information can be displayed in a graphical view, a number of methods are provided for simplifying the display. This section covers the methods that change the display without altering the contents. All graphical views have a control area, containing a row of graph controls as shown in Figure 15 . This is appropriate where there can only be one arc between nodes.
