Focus on match

If you do not want to see the whole graph, but only the matching subgraph, you can turn on the Focus on match button in the toolbar (represented as a flash light turned on/off). The GraphViewer will display just the matching subgraph. Turning off the Focus on match button will display the initial view of the graph.

Please note: The Focus on match feature is not accessible in the corpus exploration mode.

Sentence text field

If you do not want to see the tokens of the graph you can turn off the Token button in the toolbar (represented by a T character turned on/off). Turning on the Token button will display the tokens again. To change the context size of the sentence text field (current sentence +- 0/1/2 context sentence(s)) you can use the display options menu.

Imploding subgraphs

If you want to hide parts of the graph you can implode subgraphs pressing the middle mouse button on the node which is the root of the subgraph you want to hide (cf. screenshot). If you are using a two-button mouse, clicking the left and right button simultaneously should emulate the middle button click. Clicking the imploded node again will expand it to original size. Of course, node imploding does not make sense for the root node and terminal nodes.

Node tooltip

If the mouse pointer is placed over a node (token or inner node), a node tooltip windows pops up. This windows comprises the annotation of all features:

Refresh

If the graph is not displayed properly, use the Refresh button in the toolbar to repaint the graph.
