Refresh layout

Performs a full layout of the instance graph. Operations like Expand will only layout the affected elements to avoid rearranging the graph too much, which can lead to sub-optimal layout. A full layout will consider whole graph when performing the layout.

Reset expanded items

Resets the graph to its initial state, resetting any manually expanded items.

Undo expand

Undoes the last expand operation

Redo expand

Redoes a previously undone expand operation

Clear highlight

Removes any highlights from the graph, e.g. highlighted root paths, or primary or secondary element highlights.

Include

This submenu is used to define the instance to include in the graph.

Include->Non shortest paths

Defines the non-shortest path instances and references that should be included in the graph. For more information, see Defining Items to Include.

Include->Held instances

Toggles whether held instances should be included in the graph. For more information, see Defining Items to Include.

Include->Other reachable instances

Toggles whether additional reachable instances should be included in the graph. For more information, see Defining Items to Include.

Include->Other referrer instances

Toggles whether additional referrer instances should be included in the graph. For more information, see Defining Items to Include.

Field names

Defines how field names should be presented. The options are:

•      None

•      In node

•      At edge

If In node is selected, the field name will only be presented if only a single reference field exists.

Reduce edges

Toggles whether reference edges is the graph should be reduced. Reducing edges will reduce the clutter, but will not show all references. For more information, see Defining Items to Include.

Magnifying glass

Selects the magnifying glass to be used when the zoom factor is less than 100%. The balloon magnifier will magnify the graph under the mouse up to 100%. It will obscure the parts of the underlying graph that are beneath the magnifier but outside the magnified area.

Balloon magnifier

Selects the balloon magnifier to be used when the zoom factor is less than 100%. The balloon magnifier will magnify the graph under the mouse up to 100% by stretching the graph. This magnifier will not obscure the underlying graph.

Zoom factor

Changes the zoom factor of the instance graph (between 50% and 100%). If the zoom factory is less than 100%, a magnifier will be active.

Align highlighted path

If a root path is highlighted, the instances that are part of the root path will be aligned vertically.

Expand highlighted path

If a root path is highlighted and the root path contains combined nodes, this command will expand the combined nodes so that they only contain instances that are part of the root path.

Sync with other views

Toggles whether graph synchronization should be enabled or not. For more information, see Graph Synchronization.

Legend

Shows a legend window, with a short explanation of the graph symbols.

Expand

Only available in the info window and context menu of nodes and edges in the graph. Provides options for expanding nodes that contains combined instances or roots. The actual options available depends on the graph element, but typically they include options for expanding a specific type, a field, or just a number of instances.

Show instance details

Only available in the info window and context menu of nodes and edges in the graph. Shows the instance details of the active node. If the node contains combined instances, the details of all instances will be shown as an instance filter.

Highlight root path

Only available in the info window and context menu of nodes and edges in the graph. Highlights the shortest root path that passes through the selected element.

Align root path

Only available in the info window and context menu of nodes and edges in the graph. Highlights the shortest root path that passes through the selected element. The instances that are part of the root path will be aligned vertically.
