1. Resource Nodes
1.1 Create Resource Nodes
To create a resource node, click on the appropriate resource type
button in the Resource Window. A dialog box will pop up to prompt you
for the resource node's URI.
Enter the URI of the resource or leave it blank to create an
anonymous resource. (Note: You are not able to have multiple nodes with
the same URI in the same model)
A grey, floating resource node will be created for you. Move the
floating resource node to the place you like, then click on the left mouse
button to complete the operation.
1.2 Select Resource Nodes
To select a single resource node, simply click on the resource node.
The node will turn green indicating it's been selected.
To select multiple resource nodes, click anywhere on the blank
canvas, and start dragging. All nodes that are intersected by the
selection box will be marked as selected.
To add additional resource nodes to the ones that have already been
selected, press the CTRL key while drag another selection box to
intersect the additional nodes.
1.3 Move Resource Nodes
First, select the nodes you wish to move, then click on any one of
the selected nodes and drag the nodes to the desired place.
1.4 Delete Resource Nodes
First, select the nodes you wish to delete, then press the DEL key to
delete the selected nodes and all the properties that are associated
with them.
1.5 Copy Resource Nodes
First, select a single node that you wish to copy. If you just
wish to copy the node but not any of the properties associated with it,
press CTRL while dragging the node to another place. The copied node
will be left in the original place.
If you wish to copy the nodes and all the properties associated with
it, press both CTRL and ALT while dragging the node to another place.
Again, the copied node will be left in the original place.
If the original node is not anonymous, a "(copy #)" string will be
appended to the end of the URI to make the URI unique. Follow
instructions in section 1.6 if you wish to change the URIs.
1.6 Edit the Comment, Value, and URI properties for
the Resource Nodes
Double click on the node you wish to edit, and a dialog box will pop
up for you to edit the desired values. (Note: you are not allowed to
have multiple nodes with the same URI in the same model)
You can view the edited Comment and Value properties of any node
simply by movving your mouse over it.
1.7 Color Different Types of Nodes
Choose the Colors command from Option menu in Main Window. A color
chooser dialog box will pop up. Choose the type of the node on the left
panel, and choose the color that will be associated with it on the right
hand side.
When you are done, press the [x] button on the top right hand
side corner to close the color chooser window.
Note: Color info applied to the program as a whole, and not to
individual model. And the color info is currently is NOT saved with
the model, so when you restart the program, the color setting will
be lost.
