Graph creator/editor interface

Move group button: when in this mode, you can move or resize groups of
dots around the graph. Click on the group, and then drag it to the desired
place, or resize it by dragging the borders.
|
Drag point button: click on the point you want to move, then drag it ot
the desired point.
|
|
Drag viewport button: click somewhere on the graph, and then drag it in the desired direction. |

Modify point button: Click on the point you want to change. Dialog will
appear:![]() Velocity: sets initial velocity of the dot. Too "fast" dots can produce major distortions in graph. Position: sets initial position of the dot. Too "high" dots can produce very big distortions in graph. Fixed: can dot move or not. Use it to limit oscillations of the graph. Fast way to (un)fix dots : when in "Modify point" mode, click on the point while holding "CTRL" key. |

Modify link: click on the link you want to change, dialog with parameter
"Stifness" will appear. Stifness affects how hard it is to bend this link. |
![]() |
Delete point button: click on the point you want to remove.
|
Delete link button: click on the link you want to remove. |
![]() |
Add point/link button: clicking on the point will link it to the next
clicked point. Clicking on the free space will create new point. If you want to add point to the existing group, when in "Add
point/link" mode click somewhere inside group bounding box. |

Cell graph button: Adding of the cell graph. Dialog will appear:![]() Default stifness: sets initial stifness of the links. The bigger the stifness - the more it takes to disturb graph. Stifness=8 sets a water-like behaviour of the graph. Default weight: sets initial weight of the links. Fixed border: will the border of the graph be fixed. |
![]() |
Hexagonal graph button: Adding of the hexagonal graph. Dialog will
appear:![]() Default stifness: sets initial stifness of the links. The bigger the stifness - the more it takes to disturb graph. Stifness=8 sets a water-like behaviour of the graph. Default weight: sets initial weight of the links. Fixed border: will the border of the graph be fixed. |
![]() |
Playing point button: selects the point from which you want to take
sound.
Setting playing point to the point with high amplitude can produce noise and unpleasant sounds. |
![]() |
Modify group button: by dragging the rectangle select the group of dots
you want to modify. Dialog will appear:![]() Max amplitude: amplitude to set. Max weight: weight to set. The next two group of buttons allows you to control behaviour of velocity and/or point distribution. When set to "equivalent" position, every dot in the selection will get specified properties. When set to "smoothed" position, points situated further from the center of the selection will get less distortion than those situated closer. Stifness: every link caught in the selection will get this stifness. Fix/unfix points:check it if you want to make every dot in the selection fixed/unfixed. |
![]() |
Merge 2 groups Allows you to connect or merge 2 group of points. After
clicking, dialog will appear, prompting to choose which type do you need.![]() |
![]() |
Zoom in/out: Allows you to zoom in/out graph. |

New: Clears the editor screen. Load: Load the previously saved graph. Save: Saves the graph. |
