Attribute of: subgraphs<br />

<strong>Description</strong>:<br />

This is the central attribute when it comes to filtering in fish-eye views as it enables the<br />

importance of a summary node of a folded subgraph to be specified via an integer.<br />

Low integers signify less important nodes which are filtered out first by a filtering fish-eye<br />

view. High integer numbers signify nodes that are important, their being rarely filtered out.<br />

A value of 0 represents an infinite importance, the result being that these nodes are never<br />

filtered out. This attribute exists for nodes too, see p. 95.<br />

• info1, info2, info3<br />

Type: string<br />

Default value: empty string for all three<br />

Attribute of: subgraphs<br />

<strong>Description</strong>:<br />

These attributes enable three additional text fields to be specified for a summary node of a<br />

folded subgraph. The same set of attributes exists for nodes (see node attribute info1, p. 95).<br />

These additional information fields can be selected interactively from the submenu of the<br />

Information menu (see p. 19).<br />

• infoname<br />

Type: integer : string<br />

Default value: 1 : “0”, 2 : “1”, 3 : “2”<br />

Attribute of: top-level graph<br />

<strong>Description</strong>:<br />

This attribute enables names for the additional information fields available for each node to<br />

be introduced. These names appear in the submenu of the menu item Information in the<br />

Misc menu of the menu line. For details on additional information fields, see p. 19 and p. 75.<br />

• inport_sharing<br />

Type: yes, no<br />

Default value: no<br />

Attribute of: top-level graph, subgraphs<br />

<strong>Description</strong><br />

See graph attribute port_sharing (p. 81).<br />

• label<br />

Type: string<br />

Default value: empty string<br />

Attribute of: subgraphs<br />

<strong>Description</strong>:<br />

This string is displayed inside the summary node of a folded subgraph. If no label is spezified<br />

the value of the title of the subgraph is used. If there is no label or title specified for the<br />

subgraph then the file name of the graph spezification is used.<br />

Note: This text may contain control characters, e.g. “\n” (newline character), that influence<br />

the size of the node (see 5.13)<br />
