1.3. Using the GUI
1. Collapse all: For all trees. Collapses all nodes in the tree.
2. Collapse subtree: For all trees. Enabled only if there is a reference node. It
collapses all nodes in the subtree of the reference node (including the reference
node).
3. Collapse peers: For system trees only. Enabled only if there is a reference node.
Collapses all peer nodes of the reference node, i.e., all nodes at the same hierarchy
level.
4. Expand all: For all trees. Expands all nodes in the tree.
5. Expand subtree: For all trees. Enabled only if there is a reference node. Expands
all nodes in the subtree of the reference node (including the reference node).
6. Expand peers: For system trees only. Enabled only if there is a reference node.
Expands all peer nodes of the reference node, i.e., all nodes at the same hierarchy
level.
7. Expand largest: For all trees. Enabled only if there is a reference node. Starting
at the reference node, expands its child with the largest inclusive value (if any),
and continues recursively with that child until it finds a leaf. It is recommended
to collapse all nodes before using this function in order to be able to see the path
along the largest values.
8. Dynamic hiding: Not available for metric trees. This menu item activates dynamic hiding. All currently hidden nodes get shown. You are asked to define a
percentage threshold between 0.0 and 100.0. All nodes whose color position on
the color scale (in percent) is below this threshold get hidden. As default value, the
color percentage position of the reference node is suggested, if you right-clicked
over a node. If not, the default value is the last threshold. The hiding is called
dynamic, because upon value changes (caused for example by changing the node
selection) hiding is re-computed for the new values. In other words, value changes
may change the visibility of the nodes.
a) Redefine threshold: This menu item is enabled if dynamic hiding is already
activated. This function allows to re-define the dynamic hiding threshold as
described above.
During dynamic hiding, for expanded nodes with some hidden children and for
nodes with all of its children hidden, their displayed (exclusive) value includes the
hidden children’s inclusive value. The percentage of the hidden children is shown
in brackets next to this aggregate value.
9. Static hiding: Not available for metric trees. This menu item activates static hiding. All currently hidden nodes stay hidden. Additionally, you can hide and show
nodes using the now enabled sub-items:
a) Static hiding of minor values: Enabled only in the static hiding mode. As
described under dynamic hiding, you are asked for a hiding threshold. All
