Layout and snap to grid
Arranging boxes
- Drag a box to move it.
- Drag the background of a file box to move the whole file at once.
New boxes, such as a concept just created in Agrafe, are placed in free space inside their file box, or just below it when it is full.
Where your layout is kept
Positions and the current view are saved after every move, pan or zoom:
| You are | Layout saved | Shared with |
|---|---|---|
| Signed in, editing allowed | in the project, in Agrafe | everyone, and Agrafe’s Graph pane |
| Signed in, read-only | in this browser | nobody |
| On a public project | in this browser | nobody |
Signed in read-only, the first move shows This layout is saved in this browser only. To share it with Agrafe, allow editing. Follow the link to allow editing.
When you open a graph, an editor gets the project’s layout first; a reader gets the copy from this browser first.
Reset layout
Reset layout, in the View menu, puts every box back where Agrafe’s automatic layout puts it and fits the graph in the window. The reset is saved like any other change: with editing allowed, it resets the shared layout too.
Snap to grid
Snap to grid lines dragged boxes up on a grid the height of one field row. Turn it on or off in the View menu or in any right-click menu; a ✓ shows when it is on, and a faint grid is drawn behind the graph.
Dragging a whole file snaps the box you grabbed by and moves the others with it. Boxes already placed are not re-snapped when you turn it on.
It is off by default, and the choice is remembered in this browser for every project.
