General description

 

The Tree View window consists of three major areas. The top frame contains a row of ten button that are labeled as follows.

The second frame is a message box containing a summary of instructions on how to move and edit files and how to scroll the canvas. This frame also serves as a context-sensitive message box which gives different information depending certain user operations to be described in detail below. The third frame contains a canvas in which the application setup information is depicted graphically. Each host is portrayed as a circle with the name of the host written just above it. Each source file is represented by a rectangle with the name of the file written inside the rectangle. The set of rectangles associated with a particular host are connected by lines to the circle representing that host. Thus the canvas contains a set of circles with each circle being connected to a set of rectangles. An example of the Tree View window is shown in Fig. 5.9. These three frames are described in more detail below.
