====== Display philosophy ======

the appearance of the Visual Ontology consists - besides the search in the [[context|Context Menu]] {{::context.jpg?60|}} - essentially in three modalities:

^ modality ^ explanation ^ ^
| \\ //browsing in advance:// |from the initial **ROOT** node, a //hold// shows the next hierarchy, till reaching a **leaf image**\\ display is down-up: \\  * after the //hold// on a node, this latter will appear in the middle,\\ * the incoming relations on the bottom, always together with a back reference to the **ROOT**\\ * on top, a small number of outgoing relations plus a partition indicator of others connected| {{:schaltwerk.jpg?200|}}  |
| \\ //create a path:// |//hold// on a **leaf image** (without incoming relations),\\  the display is expanded:\\  * a possible and multiple **PATH** back towards the **ROOT** explains the essential relations leading to this leaf \\ * an arbitrary //right-click// on one of these intermediate nodes shows its number of connections in a partition node \\ * a //hold// displays its normal browsing environment \\ \\ the relations stop always at a //"+"// relation, which would lead to unsignificant nodes, like initial letters \\  \\ for the general interface actions goto [[last_version|the last version]] | {{:Addi-9-path.jpg?200|}} |
| \\ //questions:// | the button **questions** on the [[context|Context Menu]] {{::context.jpg?60|}} is an approach to identify an otherwise unknown item \\ hovering some second over a question node gives some indication of the result of clicking (better holding) on this node \\ - goto next question \\ - search with the name | {{:questions.jpg?200|}}  |
