ANGLE MODE

OCCURRENCE

ARB_NT < button in the left column>

 

DESCRIPTION

The 'ANGLE MODE' allows you to increase or decrease the angles of adjacent terminal branches or all angles within subtrees.

Click on the eighth button in the left column of the 'ARB_NT' window to activate the 'ANGLE MODE'.

Change the angle of terminal branches:

Move the cursor to nay position along the edge connecting the two terminal branches and the rest of the tree. Click on the left or right mouse button repeatedly to gradually increase or decrease the angle.

Change all angles of a 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 subsequently releasing the mouse button. The label of the bar can be moved independently.

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