6. Configuring Appearance

The appearance of the Simmune NetworkViewer can be configured through the preference dialog that controls all the configurable settings. Click the "View" menu and select the "Preference..." menu item to show the preference dialog. Another way is to select "Preference..." from the context menu after righ-clicking at an empty area in the network panel.

6.1. Edge appearance

    Click the colored rectangle and follow the instructions of the dialog to select an appropriate color. Type in or adjust the value in the spin box to set the alpha value of the colors.

  • Edge width

    Type in or adjust the value in the spin box to set the edge width.

  • Edge Highlight

    Check/Uncheck the check box to enable/disable edge highlight. Highlighted edges have different alpha value and edge width. Type in or adjust the values in the spin boxes to set the alpha value and edge width of highlighted edges.

  • Edge Arrow

    Check/Uncheck the check box to show/hide the arrows on the edges. Type in or adjust the value in the spin box to set the line width used for the arrows. Drag the slider to scale the size of arrows.

6.2. Node appearance

    As a shortcut you can find the two sliders on the top-left corner of the network panel after clicking the button.

  • Group and move intermediate nodes together

    Check/Uncheck the check box to enable/disable moving together the intermediate nodes having identical participating species. Disable this option if you want to move some but not all the nodes that have identical participating species.

  • Adjust layout after moving nodes

    Check/Uncheck the check box to enable/disable adjusting layout (e.g. the relative position of intermediate nodes) after any modification is made to the layout. Disable this option if you want full control of the layout.
