Graph Overview

The Graph Overview is just what its name says - a graphical overview of the process and activity set graph. It shows the whole graph of the selected process or activity set in a way that you can see all the graph elements in the overview area at once.

This overview also provides an easy way to select elements by clicking on the elements or dragging a selection rectangle in the small graphics. All selections done in the overview are immdiately reflected in the main graph. This way even bigger portions of the graph can be selected at once without having to scroll through the main graph.

If the element that is currently not visible in the main Graph is selected in the Graph Overview, the main graph is automatically scrolling to show the selected element thus making graphical navigation in large process graphs very easy.

The Graph Overview can be hidden by clicking on the "Overview" tab with the right mouse button and selecting "Close". It can be shown again by selecting "Add Overview" in the context menu of the "External package relations" tab or the background of the "Special Area".
