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 />
