You may be asked to accept a certificate before the Java applet will
load.
To choose a
different topic word, Right-Click the background.
Options: Right click on the display background for
options.
- Change the Topic Word:
Input a word of your choice, as the basis of a new graph.
- Collapse all:
All links
connecting words to nodes will be collapsed (useful for very messy graphs).
-
Regenerate the graph:
Start over, ignoring any user changes.
- Switch to restricted display
mode:
Restricted display mode will
simplify the graph by reducing word nodes to just those which share
more than one sense with the topic word.
- Search for a word:
If you search for
a word, the node containing the search word will turn pink, and the words attached to
sense nodes not containing the search word, will be collapsed.
- Search for a [sense] node:
If you search for
a sense node, the node containing the sense number will turn pink (and nothing else).
Navigating:
Pan by clicking and
dragging the background.
Zoom using the mouse
wheel.
Editing:
- Right click any node
for node-specific options such as expanding or collapsing
associations.
- Left click and drag
to change the position of a node.
- Control-Left click
to drag a sense node and all of its unshared words.
Identifying Associations:
- Clicking on a word node will highlight all of its sense nodes with a black circle.
- Clicking on a sense node will turn all the associated word nodes yellow.
Glossary:
"Restricted" mode includes
all senses, and only those words that have more than one sense.
