View the tree graphically

You can use a graphical browser to navigate through the classification hierarchy. This browser shows a hierarchy of the tree structure symbols and allows you to enlarge them easily with a slider. You can switch back and forth between the tree structure and the graphical browser. The class that is currently highlighted in the graphical browser is then highlighted in the tree and vice versa. If you select a class in the hierarchy tree, it is also selected in the graphical browser when you open it.

Procedure

1. Turn on the graphical browser using the ICS_enable_graphical_browser preference.

2. In the hierarchy pane, click the Graphical Browser tab.

3. Navigate through the classes.

The graphical browser shows two sets of graphics. The top set, a horizontal list of graphics, is the hierarchy list. This represents the path you have taken down the classification tree from parent to child node. The second set of graphics represents all the members of the current class, that is, the last class shown in the hierarchy list. Leaf classes are displayed with a blue border around the graphic.

To move one level down in the tree, click the graphic.

To move one level up the tree, click the second-to-the-last graphic in the list of graphics at the top.

To select a class, click the link below the graphic of the class you want to open. If the class you are selecting is a leaf node, clicking the link also selects it.

To move to any class in the hierarchy list, click the class.

To select a leaf class (a graphic with a blue border), click the class or click the link below the graphic.

4. Modify the graphic size by moving the slider at the right of the browser pane to the right to enlarge the graphics and moving it to the left to make them smaller.
