Centering views and displaying partial trees


    The Move to Center command limits a links view to a page and its incoming and outgoing links. The Display Partial Tree command limits a navigation view to a partial tree--that is, one or more selected pages and the logical descendents (children, grandchildren, and so on).

    The most basic way to limit a view is by expanding and collapsing it. (See Expanding and collapsing views.) You also can limit a view by using the View palette to vary and filter it. (See Varying the view of links and Filtering the contents of the view.)

To limit the view to a page and its incoming and outgoing links:

  1. Select a page in the main pane of the links view.
  2. Choose Move to Center from the context menu. The view is reduced to the file you selected and its incoming and outgoing links.
  3. If you want to center the view on another file, select the file and press the Escape key, or choose Move to Center from the context menu again.

To display only partial trees:

  1. Select one or more pages in the main pane of a navigation view.
  2. Choose Display Partial Tree from the context menu. The view is reduced to the page(s) you selected and their logical descendents (subtrees).
  3. To view the complete tree, press the Escape key or choose Display Partial Tree from the context menu again.
