All file operations are supported by a file selector
dialog box
to select a file name.
File in the
menu line offers the following file operations:
- Open File...
Open the file selector
box
to select a file name.
A new graph specification is read from the file selected, a layout
calculated, followed by the graph being displayed.
- Reopen File (g)
This operation causes the file containing the current
graph specification to be read again, the layout recalculated and the
graph displayed again. It can also be invoked by pressing the g key.
- VCG1.0 Save...
Open the file selector
box to select a file name.
The graph currently displayed is then written to the file selected along with
some calculated layout parameters. Note: This is a legacy feature
providing compatibility to VCG V.1.0. It may not work for graph
specifications that contain any newer GDL features.
There is no direct interface for printing graphs.
However, graphs or parts of graphs can be exported to files in several
formats for which
many printer drivers are available.
Exporting is done via the export
dialog box.
- Print/Export Part...
A rectangular rubberband is used to select part of the graph
currently shown in the display window. Selecting is done like this:
- Press the left mouse button and hold it down: The rubberband appears.
- Drag it over the area of the graph to be exported followed by
releasing the mouse button.
After selecting the area to be exported the export
dialog box
pops up.
Hint: To facilitate selecting the part to be exported it is useful to
shrink the graph to a size so that this part is entirely visible.
Note: It is not possible to export parts of a graph if splines have been used
for drawing the edges.
- Print/Export Graph...
The Export
dialog
is opened.
