ROTATE MODE

OCCURRENCE

ARB_NT <eighth button in the left column> F9 on the keyboard

 

DESCRIPTION

The 'ROTATE MODE' allows you to rotate branches or subtrees of the displayed tree.

Click on the <eighth button in the left column> of the 'ARB_NT' window or press the 'F9' key on the keyboard to activate the 'ROTATE MODE'. In the latter case, the cursor has to be placed within the tree display area.

Rotate terminal branch:

Move the cursor to any position along the branch, keep the left mouse button pressed while moving the cursor, release the button to fix the position of the branch.

Rotate subtree:

  • Move the cursor to any position along the edge defining the subtree and proceed as described above.
  • The subtree-defining branch is that located closest to the indicated root (open square) of the whole tree which is directly or indirectly connected to all branches of the subtree.

 

NOTES

Short descriptions of the 'MODE' and the functions assigned to the mouse buttons are given in the fourth line of the 'ARB_NT' window.

The displayed tree topology is exported to the drawing tool xfig.

The middle mouse button (placed anywhere within the tree display area) can be used to move the whole tree.

The scale bar and its label can be moved by positioning the cursor anywhere on the bar, keeping the left mouse button pressed, moving the cursor to the desired position and sub- sequently releasing the mouse button. The label of the bar can be moved independently.

The previous topology can be restored using the 'RESET MODE' ('RESET' button on the 'ARB_NT' window).
