More About the Organizer
When you are ready with the diagram, save everything. The diagram structure in the Organizer Window should now look like this:
In this tutorial, you have only browsed through a minor part of the available functionality. You may for instance customize the Organizer to display the information using different view options.
What You Will Learn
- To work with vertical trees
- To expand and collapse the diagram structure
- To rearrange diagrams in an Organizer structure
- To display directories and pages
- To print the entire system
Tree View
- Bring up the View Options dialog (see Figure 33 on page 66), click on the Vertical tree radio button and click on Apply. The Organizer window changes its presentation mode:
Expand / Collapse
You may make parts of the diagram structure invisible (and visible again) with the Expand and Collapse commands from the View menu. (Expand is available on collapsed nodes only (indicated by the small triangle), while Collapse is available on expanded nodes that have a substructure).
- Collapse the block GameBlock. The subtree for the block -GameBlock is reduced to the node, with a small triangle added.
Rearranging Diagrams
The Organizer lets you rearrange the order of appearance of symbols.
You can either do that with arrow keys (<Up>, <Down>, <Left> and <Right>) or with the quick buttons Move up and Move down.
Say that you want to rearrange the order of appearance of the blocks -DemonBlock and GameBlock:
- Select the block GameBlock.
Click once on the quick button Move down, alternatively press <Shift> and type the <Down> arrow key. The result becomes:
Diagram Pages
- In the View Options dialog, turn the Page symbols item on.
- Apply the options - the result becomes a list where the SDL pages are made visible.
Printing the System
The Organizer lets you print all diagrams that are included in the system with a single command. You may also include a table of contents:
- De-select all diagram symbols, or select the system diagram.
Click the quick button for Print. This opens the Organizer's Print dialog.
- Turn the Table of contents toggle button on and click on Print to order a global printout of all SDL diagrams, including a table of contents (see Figure 76).
You have now created and printed your first complete SDL system using the SDL Suite. Your next task is to check the complete system with respect to SDL syntax and semantics.
