Using the Outline View

You can view and change the properties of a query result by opening the Outline view (by selecting WindowShow ViewOutline from the main menu). The available properties depend on the query type and the result view. For example, the Outline view provides these properties for the result of a Path query displayed in an item table:

You can modify the appearance of a query result using the properties under the Default node. Any changes become effective immediately. The properties under the Query node describe the query and cannot be changed.

Diagram Properties

These properties apply to diagrams:

Property	Function	Value Range
Add query results to current view	Specifies whether the result of queries starting from this view should be added to the current view or displayed in a new one.	true\|false
Align on grid	Specifies whether graphical shapes should be aligned on the grid.	true\|false
Anti aliasing	Specifies whether anti-aliasing should be done on graphical shapes.	true\|false
Current size	Specifies the overall diagram size (in pixels).	[<integer>,<integer>]
Enable Drag	Specifies whether items can be dragged from this view to other item views. You cannot completely disable drag-and-drop in diagrams because it is used to arrange items.	true\|false
Enable Drop	Specifies whether items from other item views can be dropped at this view.	true\|false
Frame size	Specifies a margin (in pixels) between the graphic shapes and the four diagram edges.	[<integer>,<integer>]
Grid offset	Specifies the starting point of the grid (in pixels).	[<integer>,<integer>]
Grid size	Specifies the grid size (that is, vertical and horizontal distances between grid lines in pixels).	[<integer>,<integer>]
Grid visible	Specifies whether the grid is displayed in the diagram.	true\|false
Layout source item shapes on	In Tree and Hierarchy layouts, specifies the location of the source item shapes.	Top\|Bottom\|Left\|Right
Layout type	Specifies how graphical shapes are arranged. To know more, see Using Layout Options.	Tree\|Hierarchy\|Net
Maximum size	Specifies the maximum size of the diagram (in pixels).	[<integer>,<integer>]
Paint edges on top	Specifies whether edges or shapes will be on top when they occupy the same space.	true\|false
Perform a re-layout after running a query	Refreshes the diagram when query results are added to current view.	true\|false
Print grid visible	Specifies whether the print grid is displayed in the diagram.	true\|false
Rectilinear line style	Switches the line type in the diagram between rectilinear and angular line shape.	true\|false
Zoom	Specifies the zoom factor used in the diagram display (100.0 is normal size).	<decimal>

Relationship Tree and Item Table Properties

These properties apply to relationship trees and item tables:

Property	Function	Value Range
Add query results to current view	Specifies whether the result of queries starting from this view will be added to the current view or displayed in a new one.	true\|false
Direction	Specifies whether node expansion displays forward references, backward references, or both.	Both\|Forward\|Backward
Duplicate nodes expandable	Specifies whether nodes that are listed multiple times in a query result can be expanded every time they occur or only on the first occurrence.	true\|false
Enable Drag	Specifies whether items can be dragged from this view to other item views. Since the view displays a set of related items, you cannot drop other items here.	true\|false
Show children count	Specifies whether the number of subnodes of the top-level node should be displayed.	true\|false

Table Properties

These properties apply to tables:

Property	Function	Value Range
Enable Drag	Specifies whether items can be dragged from this view to other item views.	true\|false
Enable Drop	Specifies whether items from other item views can be dropped at this view.	true\|false
