Using SoftBench Graph Windows
Understanding Nodes and Arcs
Appendix A 333
When you select multiple objects, the tool applies the chosen popup menu
action to all of them. The tools provide several ways to select more than
one object. The reasons for selection determine the method you choose to
use. For example, you may want to remove all nodes in a certain area of
the graph. Figure A-3 shows the selection of two nodes within a Static
Graph.
