Understanding Nodes and Arcs

Understanding Nodes and Arcs

All graphs display nodes and arcs within the Graph Area. Nodes represent entities within your code, and arcs represent the relationships between the entities. The following pages describe how you can select, move, or hide nodes and arcs.

Reading Graph Area Nodes

The Graph Area includes nodes corresponding to entities, and arcs corresponding to the relationship between two entities. Table A-3 shows what entities the nodes represent in each graph window. For more detailed discussions about nodes and arcs, refer to the applicable graph chapters.

Selecting Nodes and Arcs

You can select any subset of nodes and/or arcs found within the Graph Area. Refer to Table A-4 for a list of selection methods. When selected, the object's outline changes.

You select a single node or arc by placing the pointer over the object and clicking the left mouse button. This clears any other selections.
