Short Command Reference

The following section briefly describes the commands of the network editor. Capital letters denote the keys that must be hit to invoke the command in a command sequence.

The following commands are possible within any command sequence

• Quit: quit a command
• Return: quit a command and return to normal mode (see chapter )
• Help: get help information. A help window pops up (see chapter )

As already mentioned, some operations have a different meaning if there exist units with sites in a network. These operations are indicated with the suffix (Sites!) and are described in more detail in chapter . Commands that manipulate sites are also included in this overview. They start with the first command Sites.

• Flags Safety: sets/resets safety flag (a flag to prompt the user before units or links are deleted; additional question, if units with different subnet numbers are selected.)

1. Link Commands:    
   • Links Set: sets all links between the selected units to the weight displayed in the info panel (independent of sites)

   • Links Make ...: creates or modifies connections

   • Links Make Clique: connects every selected unit with every other selected unit (Sites!)

   • Links Make to Target unit: creates links from all selected source units to a single target unit (under the mouse pointer) (Sites!)

   • Links Make from Source unit: creates links from a single source unit (under the mouse pointer) to all selected target units (Sites!)

   • Links Make Double: doubles all links between the selected units, i.e. generates two links (from source to target and from target to source) from each single link) (Sites!)

   • Links Make Invers: changes the direction of all links between the selected units (Sites!)

   • Links Delete Clique: deletes all links between all selected units (Sites!)

   • Links Delete to Target unit: deletes all incoming links from a selected group of units to a single target unit (under the mouse pointer) (Sites!)

   • Links Delete from Source unit: deletes all outgoing links from a single source unit (under the mouse pointer) to a selected group of units (Sites!)

   • Links Copy Input: copies all input links leading into the selected group of units as new input links to the target unit (under the mouse pointer) (Sites!)

   • Links Copy Output: copies all output links starting from the selected group of units as new output links of the source unit (under the mouse pointer) (Sites!).

   • Links Copy All: copies all input and output links from the selected group of units as new input or output links to the unit under the mouse pointer (Sites!)

   • Links Copy Environment: copies all links between the selected units and the TARGET unit to the actual unit, if there exist units with the same relative distance (Sites!)

2. Site Commands:    
   • Sites Add: add a site to all selected units

   • Sites Delete: delete a site from all selected units

   • Sites Copy with No links: copies the current site of the Target unit to all selected units. Links are not copied

   • Sites Copy with All links: ditto, but with all links

3. Unit Commands:    
   • Units Freeze: freeze all selected units

   • Units Unfreeze: reset freeze for all selected units

   • Units Set Name: sets name to the name of Target

   • Units Set io-Type: sets I/O type to the type of Target

   • Units Set Activation: sets activation to the activation of Target

   • Units Set Initial activation: sets initial activation to the initial activation of Target

   • Units Set Output: sets output to the output of Target

   • Units Set Bias: sets bias to the bias of Target

   • Units Set Function Activation: sets activation function. Note: all selected units loose their default type (f-type)

   • Units Set Function Output: sets output function Note: all selected units loose their default type (f-type)

   • Units Set Function Ftype: sets default type (f-type)

   • Units Insert Default: inserts a unit with default values. The unit has no links

   • Units Insert Target: inserts a unit with the same values as the Target unit. The unit has no links

   • Units Insert Ftype: inserts a unit of a certain default type (f-type) which is determined in a popup window

   • Units Delete: deletes all selected units

   • Units Move: all selected units are moved. The mouse determines the destination position of the TARGET unit (info-panel). The selected units and their position after the move are shown as outlines.

   • Units Copy ...: copies all selected units to a new position. The mouse position determines the destination position of the TARGET unit (info-panel).

   • Units Copy All: copies all selected units with all links

   • Units Copy Input: copies all selected units with their input links

   • Units Copy Output: copies all selected units and their output links

   • Units Copy None: copies all selected units, but no links

   • Units Copy Structure ...: copies all selected units and the link structure between these units, i.e. a whole subnet is copied

   • Units Copy Structure All: copies all selected units, all links between them, and all input and output links to and from these units

   • Units Copy Structure Input: copies all selected units, all links between
     them, and all input links to these units

   • Units Copy Structure Output: copies all selected units, all links between them, and all output links from these units

   • Units Copy Structure None: copies all selected units and all links between them

   • Units Copy Structure Back binding: copies all selected units and all links between them and inserts additional links from the new to the corresponding original units (Sites!)

   • Units Copy Structure Forward binding: copies all selected units and all links between them and inserts additional links from the original to the corresponding new units (Sites!)

   • Units Copy Structure Double binding: ditto, but inserts additional links from the original to the new units and vice versa (Sites!)

4. Mode Commands:  
   • Mode Units: unit mode, shortens command sequence if one wants to work with unit commands only. All subsequences after the Units command are valid then

   • Mode Links: analogous to Mode Units, but for link commands

5. Graphics Commands:    
   • Graphics All: redraws the local window

   • Graphics Complete: redraws all windows

   • Graphics Direction: draws all links from and to a unit with arrows in the local window

   • Graphics Links: redraws all links in the local window

   • Graphics Move: moves the origin of the local window such that the Target unit is displayed at the position of the mouse pointer

   • Graphics Origin: moves the origin of the local window to the position indicated

   • Graphics Grid: displays a graphic grid at the raster positions in the local window

   • Graphics Units: redraws all units in the local window
