Handling a Dendrogram

A dendrogram illustrates the environment of an object. You can improve its display:

• in the report parameters:

• modify the Number of displayed levels by default

• modify its Display mode (circular or horizontal)

• in the dendrogram:

• modify the depth of display of a branch levels from a specific object

• modify the display: object spacing and label size

You can also:

• display an additional level for a single branch

• display all of the levels of a specific branch

• display a dendrogram in full page

• zoom in and move through the dendrogram

• display the properties of an object contained in the dendrogram

Example of a Report Template showing a dendrogram:

“Environment report”

In addition to Display and Number of displayed levels parameters, this Report Template also includes the following parameters:

Subject: defines the source object of the dendrogram.

Hierarchy: defines the link (via a MetaAssociationEnd or a query) browsed recursively to display the objects.

Deepness: defines the number of displayable levels of a branch.

Improving a dendrogram readability

To improve a dendrogram readability:

1. (If needed) Zoom in and move through dendrogram.

2. Edit the report (click More

> Edit Report

3. In the edit pane, Styles section, modify the style parameters, then click Apply.

Select, for example:

• the most suitable Display mode

Horizontal (recommended mode)

Circular

• the default Number of displayed levels for all of the branches

E.g.: 2 levels displayed by default

4. In the chart menu bar, click Options and move the cursors so as to optimize the spacing.

Displaying the next level

The number to the right of an object indicated its number of child objects. Objects without number after their name do not have additional levels.

You can display:

• the next level:

Click the number to the right of the object.

Click the number to hide the level displayed.

• all the next levels:

Press the [Shift] key and click the number to the right of the object.

Click the number to hide all the levels displayed.
