The flow graph

The graph shows a SCFLOW model as lanes (scopes), actors placed in them and flows drawn between actors. A graph is a view: several graphs can show the same model, each with its own layout, and a new graph starts empty.

  • Drag an entry of the entity palette (left sidebar) onto the graph to add the actor, scope or flow it stands for. Anything you create while a graph is open also joins that graph.
  • Drag from an actor to another to create a flow. A flow between a parent actor and one of its children carries an item.
  • Every change is one undo step.
  • Move a node to place it; the layout button arranges the lanes for you.
  • Fold an actor to hide what it contains. Edges to hidden content attach to the folded actor; nothing is deleted.
  • Select a node or an edge to edit its properties in the right panel.
