Changing Node Colour
The colour of the node can be
changed in two ways. Select the node you wish to change the colour of
and right click. Select colour change and this displays a colour
palette, allowing you to select the preferred colour for that node. The
second option is using the 'Formatting' options under the 'Home' tab.
Select the node you wish to change the colour of and then click
'Background colour'. This will display a selection of colours - click
the colour that you wish to change the node background colour to. Note
that changing the colour will only change the colour of the selected
node/s.
Formatting Text
The text within the node can be formatted
and the font, size and colour can be changed. This can be done in two
ways. One way is through double clicking on the text within the node.
This will bring up a toolbar, which allows you to format the text (as
shown in the top image on the left). The second option is through
selecting the text which you wish to format and selecting the
appropriate option from the 'Formatting' section within the 'Home' tab
at the top of the screen.
Highlighting Text
If
you wish to highlight the entire text or single word within a selected
node, this can be done in two ways. Select the text within the node that
you wish to highlight and select the ‘Highlight Colour’ option from the
‘Formatting’ options under the ‘Home’ tab. This will display a colour
palette for you to select the colour that you wish to use to highlight
the text. The second option is to us the toolbar will appear when
you highlight the text within the text box. Clicking on the highlight
text button within this toolbar loads a colour palette to allow you to
select the colour you wish to use to highlight the text.
Changing Defaults
The
nodes are all set with default colours, shapes and sizes. Changing the
colours and sizes of selected nodes has already been shown but you can
also change the default colour, shape and size of each of the nodes.
This is done through using the ‘Defaults’ tab along the top of the
screen. Select the tab and chose which node type you wish to alter.
Within each node type there are drop down menus that enable you to
select alternative shapes and colours for the node groups and boxes that
allow you to enter values to change the height and width of the nodes.
Restoring Defaults
If you have amended the colour of a selected node, you can restore the
node to the default colour by right clicking on the node, clicking on
reset and selecting whether you wish to restore the default colour or
default size of the node. Note that this only restores to what the
default settings have been set to. If you have amended the default
settings, the nodes will restore to these settings and not the settings
in place when you initially launched Realisor.
