Query Net Editor Drop-Down Menu

Right-clicking in the Query Net Viewer area of the Net Editor produces a drop-down menu with easy access to many of the appropriate Main Menu functions, as well as the important "Create Directed Graph" function (see below for examples), and the "Change Active Matched Query" command.

This is the drop-down menu that will appear:

The Change Active Matched Query command is available only when the Query Results Viewer is active.  Choosing this option will display in the Map Viewer the results of the query currently "in focus" in the Query Viewer.

The Create New Query command will present the Create New Query form.

The Add Attribute command will present a form for adding attributes to the query node selected at the time the drop-down menu was activated.

Delete Attribute will delete the attribute selected at the time the drop-down menu was activated.

The Copy Node command will copy to the clipboard the attribute selected at the time the drop-down menu was activated.

The Paste Node command will paste the attribute held in the clipboard onto the attribute selected at the time the drop-down menu was activated, but only if the attribute is acceptable, according to the ontology, in the selected position.

Full Expand - Expands the entire treeview inside the semantic net viewer so that all attribute value items (nodes) will be displayed.

Full Collapse - Collapses the entire treeview inside the semantic net viewer so that all attribute value items (nodes) will be hidden.

For the "Create Directed Graph" choice to be active, the right-click must have been on the top (identifying) node of a Query Net.

This action will use ATT's public domain GraphViz program to draw a diagrammatic representation of the in-focus semantic net in your web browser (see example 1 and example 2).  Since the GraphViz program stores the network diagrams in SVG format, it requires that Adobe's free SVG Viewer plug-in be already installed in the local browser. (The SVG Viewer is distributed with LegendBurster, and may be installed by running the installation program in the /Program Files/LegendBurster/ directory.  Alternatively, it may be obtained directly from the www.adobe.com web site.)

These diagrams are often a more aesthetically pleasing way of presenting the information in a semantic net than a printout of a tree-list.  Each diagram created is stored in the /Program Files/LegendBurster/SVG/ directory for later access.  They are directly editable in graphics programs such as CorelDraw 10.

Find... - Searches for a word in the semantic net viewer, and colours any row yellow that includes the word.

Reset Search Results Indicators - Removes yellow colour from any rows which included "found" words
