Node Type
Name - To name a new type, type it into the text
field on the node type side.
Graphical layout - The layout of a node type can be defined by items of the pop-up menu, which appears after pressing the mouse button when the cursor
points to the icon button on the left of the text field.
The pop-up menu contains the following items:
Color |
Set a color. |
Shape |
Set a shape. |
Image |
Set an image icon. This image icon will be used for objects of this
node type, if the Mode / Image_view is selected. |
Delete |
Delete a selected node type. If the node type is deleted, all graph
objects of this type are deleted, too. |
Redefine |
If a check button is set, you can change the name or the layout of
a selected type. To accept the changes use RETURN key when the cursor points
to the text field. |
To add a new node type use the RETURN key when the cursor points to the
text field.
Multiplicity of the node type - The multiplicity of the node type can be set by a multiplicity dialog
which is opened from the node pop-up menu when you are editing a type graph.

Edge Type
Name - To name a new edge type, type it into the
text field on the edge type side
Graphical layout - The layout of an edge type can be defined by items of the pop-up menu, which appears after pressing the mouse button when
the cursor points to the icon button on the left of the text field.

a selected type. To accept the changes use RETURN key when the cursor points
to the text field. |

Multiplicity of the edge type - The multiplicity of the source
and target end of an edge type can be set by a multiplicity dialog
which is opened from the edge pop-up menu when you are editing a type graph.
When you state a multiplicity
at the target end of an edge type, you specify the number of nodes which
may be connected to one source node across edges of the given edge type.
A multiplicity at the source end of an edge type is interpreted
similarily.
