Application Specific Information

  The application using aiSee to visualize graphs may provide additional information with each node.

Up to three different pieces of information, i.e. text fields, can be associated with a node. Usually the application defines titles for these pieces of information, enabling the titles to be found and selected in the Information submenu.

If no titles are defined by the application the default menu items are:

Menu item Key Effect
0 (normal, i) i Information window
1 (normal, j) j is displayed
2 (normal, k) k with a scale factor of normal.
0 (scaled)   Information window
1 (scaled)   is displayed
2 (scaled)   with the current scale factor.

For example, if aiSee is used to visualize family trees in which the nodes contain the names, the additional information fields could be used to display the date and place of birth and the individual's address as shown below.

Example menu items:

Menu item
Date of Birth (normal, i)
Place of Birth (normal, j)
Address (normal, k)
Date of Birth (scaled)
Place of Birth (scaled)
Address (scaled)
