Understanding Data Graph Window Areas
The Data Graph Window is a top-level window that you can iconify when
not in use.
The Data Graph Window is divided into four main areas:
• the Layout Control Area
• the Display Control Area
• the Graph Area, which includes:
— Nodes corresponding to data in memory
— Arcs corresponding to pointer references from one structure to
another
• the Window Control Area
Figure 8-1 shows an example of Graph Window Areas in the Data Graph
Window.

Understanding the Layout Control Area
The Layout Control Area at the top of the browser window includes radio
buttons, which control the layout of the graph. For more information on
the layout conventions, see Appendix A, “Using SoftBench Graph
Windows,” on page 323.
