Trace all paths between nodes in a picture

You can trace all paths between any number of nodes on the picture, which means you can show the relations between the nodes.

You can trace a path between nodes in the following ways:

  • The highlight mode: Keep the whole picture and highlight the nodes and edges on the path.
  • The crop mode: Remove any node or edge that is not on the path.

Steps

  1. Open a picture.
  2. Select one, two or more nodes in the picture:

    Click the first one and then hold down cmd while clicking on the next ones.Click the first one and then hold down ctrl while clicking on the next ones.
  3. Do one of the following:
    • To keep the whole picture and highlight the path, right-click one of the selected nodes and click Trace path Highlight.
    • To remove anything that is not part of the path between the two selected nodes, right-click one of the nodes and click Trace path Crop.
    If you selected a single node, all relations are traced.
    If you selected multiple nodes, the path between the selected nodes is traced.
    If there is no path between the nodes, a message is displayed.
