    2323To make it clear, lets see an easy example: if we start the tool with -pos rel and load up some directories we will have a database content with relative positioning. If we restart the tool without resetting it and using -pos abs nothing will happen, we will also have to use our relatively positioned database. If we want to setup positioning again, we have to use ri:reset/1 or ri:reset/0 and restart it.

     26To start the tool with absolute positioning we should simply type ''bin/referl'' (this is the default) or type ''bin/referl -pos abs''. To start the tool with relative positioning we should type ''bin/referl -pos rel''. The chosen positioning mode belongs to the database and its content that we load, but we can convert the database to change positioning mode using [[ErlangShellInterface#Manipulatingthegraph| ri:db_convert/1]] with the following parameters: rel, abs. To make it clear, lets see an easy example: if we start the tool with ''-pos rel'' and load up some directories we will have a database content with relative positioning. If we restart the tool without resetting it and using ''-pos abs'' nothing will happen, we will also have to use our relatively positioned database. If we want to change positioning to absolute mode, we will have to use ''ri:db_convert(abs)''.
