Hypergraph toolbar

Text Filter

Enter syntax into the text box beside the Text FIlter icon to limit the node listing in the Hypergraph. The syntax is case-sensitive. For example, P* shows only the nodes beginning with the letter P.

Note: Every listed child node is displayed with its corresponding parent node even if the parent node would not otherwise be shown because of the filter.

Click the Text Filter icon to automatically reset the filter.

Frame All

Zooms in to view the entire Hypergraph within the frame of the panel.

Frame Selection

Saves the current node arrangements as a quick reference. Select options to name the bookmark, otherwise the bookmark is assigned a default name.

Bookmark Editor

Opens the Bookmarks window, where you can edit saved bookmarks.

Create Asset

Adds a new asset to the graph area and adds any selected nodes to it.

Remove Asset

Deletes the selected asset node from the Hypergraph. Any nodes within the selected asset are moved out of the asset before it is deleted.

Collapse Asset

Reduces the selected asset node to the size of one node. The asset node is easily differentiated from other nodes in the Input/Output connections graph via its thick, rounded border.

Expand Asset

Increases the display size of the selected asset node(s) to display all of its encapsulated nodes.
