The Menu Bar is displayed at the top of the QGeNIe window and displays menu headings. Clicking on a menu heading will open the menu and display a list of commands under that menu. You can click on a command name to choose that command. The most frequently used commands are also displayed as tool bars (collections of buttons under a common theme). The menus that are available depend on what is open in the workspace. QGeNIe has two different menu bars:
(1) when no model is open,
(2) when a model is open in the workspace,
The difference between the two has to do with the fact that most of the menus apply to an open model. Here is a brief introduction to each of the menus. Details for each of the menus are covered in various sections of this manual.
File Menu has commands for creating, opening, saving, closing, and printing a model. It also allows for exporting QGeNIe models to GeNIe and exporting all textual comments and annotations from a model to a text file.
Edit Menu has commands for cutting, copying and pasting elements of the model, searching for an element, selecting multiple elements, as well as highlighting model elements.
View Menu has commands for viewing and hiding various toolbars and Status Bar, selecting format of labeling for nodes, zooming the graphical representation of models.
Tools Menu has commands for selecting various drawing tools for model construction.
Network Menu has commands for displaying network properties, clearing all evidence, locating the focus node if there is one defined, selecting the updating algorithm, and operating on qualitative dynamic Bayesian network models.
Node Menu has commands for displaying Node properties, setting and clearing evidence, controlling node value, setting the Focus, clearing evidence, selecting view type of the node, locating relations of the node, and showing its connections to the rest of the model.
Layout Menu has commands to adjust grid properties and layout options for the nodes.
Window Menu has commands to arrange the open windows in GeNIe and to switch between windows.
Help Menu has commands to display online help and modify help settings.
Note: Menu items that are grayed out either do not apply to the current selection or are unavailable.
