The Factor View

The graph view has some additional features to offfer. To use them effectively we need to have a look on the Factor view. The Factor view is located under the tab labeled Factor5. The view resembles the em Graph view in that there is a panel of buttons on the left, a set of tabs on the bottom and a main view in the middle. The main view in this case is a table. If you have a look at the contents of the table you may recognise the textual contents of Nodes that already are part of the graph.

Please note that there is a distinction between Node and Factor. Nodes are Factors that are part of the graph.

The Factor view lists all Factors, including those that are not part of the graph. A quick check whether a Factor is also an Node is provided by the In Graph colums of the Factor table.

The Factors in this view can be manipulated in the same way as in the Graph view. The tab labeled Factor Properties and Text on the bottom of the screen can be used to change Factors has the same functions that the Node Properties and Text tab has in the Graph view.

Newly created Factors can be used directly in the Graph view.
