8 | | == Starting investigations == |
9 | | There are a few ways of starting an investigation: |
10 | | * From a node when browsing files on the Queries page, this will bring up a new window with a new investigation starting from the clause the node is in. |
11 | | * By typing the signature of the function into the appropriate textbox in Module:Function/Arity format, then selecting a clause from the results. |
12 | | * Loading a previous investigation from the left side of the page. |
13 | | |
14 | | == Extending investigations == |
15 | | You can select nodes from any investigation window, then run a predefined or custom query starting from that node. |
16 | | This will show the query's results on the left side of page.[[BR]] |
17 | | If there were any results a new window will be created and connected with the window the startnode is in. |
18 | | Selecting a result will put the clause that result is in into the newest window. |
19 | | |
20 | | You can create a new window for the same query by clicking Options and selecting New window in the last window created. |
21 | | You can now put another result in this new window. |
22 | | |
23 | | == Managing investigations == |
24 | | You can move windows by dragging them.[[BR]] |
25 | | You can also resize windows at their edges.[[BR]] |
26 | | Doubleclicking on a window moves that window into view.[[BR]] |
27 | | You can zoom the whole investigation, by holding ctrl and left click and dragging the mouse vertically.[[BR]] |
28 | | Doubleclicking anywhere but a window will reset the zoom level. |
29 | | |
30 | | Clicking the Options button in an investigation window brings up some options for it: |
31 | | * Hide / Show contents: Show either the full contents of the clause or only the function name. (this is also available outside the options list) |
32 | | * Rename: Renames the current investigation window after typing a new name in the appearing textbox and pressing enter. |
33 | | * Delete window: Deletes the curent window, you can only delete window with no children windows. |
34 | | * New window: Creates a new window when browsing query results, so you can keep more results. |
35 | | * Move to new investigation: Moves the subtree starting from that window to a new investigation, and leaves a link in the current one. It will ask for a new and old name for the created and the modified investigation, just type the desired name and press enter. |
36 | | |
37 | | You can rename your whole investigation with the Rename button at the top left of the page, then typing the name in the appearing textbox and pressing enter.[[BR]] |
38 | | You can save the current investigation with the Save button after typing in a name in the textbox left to it. |
39 | | |
40 | | == Persistency of investigations == |
41 | | When loading an investigation, if the database changed since the last time it was saved, you get a warning.[[BR]] |
42 | | If the database changed at parts the investigation visited, then you can't continue from those parts, but can still see them. |
