To modify the node position, point the mouse to it (the mouse pointer will
change its appearance). Then, dragging the mouse with the depressed,
place this node of the diagram in a different position. To specify the exact
node coordinates, right click , select in the coming up automenu the item
“Properties” and enter the values for the Т- and Y-coordinate.
In the case of multiple selection of the nodes in the diagram, the selected
group of points can be translated:
Transfer Selected Nodes
Upon selecting this option, a dialog box appears for inputting the shift values along the Т- and Y-axes. As a
result, the selected group of points will change its position per the specified values.
Adding points to a diagram can also be done using the option:
Cut Selected Nodes Of Active Diagram And Put Them
Into Clipboard Or File
Copy Selected Nodes Of Active Diagram Into Clipboard
Or File
Paste Nodes With Positioning Into Active Diagram From
Clipboard Or File
Use of these options implies existence of least one diagram with two
nodes. Select several nodes (those will be highlighted) and pick one of
the options, “Cut” or “Copy”, in the control toolbar. Then select the
fixing node for inserting the selected fragment of the diagram and pick
the option “Paste”. Thereafter, the “Insertion” dialog box appears.
Besides the Clipboard, a source for insertion can be a diagram saved in a
file (*.tfg). The insertion particulars are defined by the fixing node of the
diagram fragment being inserted (“Left Node”, “Right Node”) and by
the number of insertions. If the flag “Symmetrical, horizontal” is set,
then the insertion fragment will be a copy of the original mirrored about
the vertical line passing through the fixing node.
The leftmost picture shows the highlighted points of the diagram fragment being copied to the Clipboard.
The second picture shows the insertion with the option “Left Node”, the third one - that with additional use
of the flag “Symmetrical, horizontal”.
In the case when the time span of the diagram fragment being inserted is greater than the time interval of the
remaining portion of the diagram to the right of the fixing node (when using left node fixing), or to the left of
