Node operations

Each node is labeled with a short name which describes what it is. In C++, the short name does not include class or namespace names which come before the final double colon (::). To view the entire name, point the mouse cursor over the node, and a tooltip will appear with the entire name.

To view more information about a node, click it. Information about the node, including its full name, will be displayed in the status bar of the tree browser window. For certain types of nodes, such as function and file nodes, this will also cause the source code for the node to be displayed in the debugger source pane.

To open a right-click menu for a node, right-click it.

For example, the right-click menu for a function node will look something like this:

For a class node, its right-click menu will look something like this:

The first two operations, Reroot and Reroot in New Window, are described in the section on rerooting, below. The middle portion of the menu contains various actions you can perform on the node; these actions vary depending on the type of node, and are documented in the section on invoking the tree browser, above. The bottom portion of the menu lists the type(s) of ancestors or descendents a node may have, and allows you to select whether they are expanded; this is equivalent to the plus/minus box on the side of the node.
