Single View Design

Purpose

The Purpose of the Single View Design is to present everything in a single view in Rodin.

Specification

The Navigator

The navigator presents all projects and their contents. The users can choose between to ways how the machines and contexts will be presented:

• A simple structure where all machines and contexts are presented on the same level
• A complex structure where the machines and contexts are presented as a tree. Thus dependencies between machines and contexts (like refines or sees) are made visible.

The Content Providers

There's a number of content providers to choose from:

User guide

Customizing the Navigator

Click on the little triangle in the upper right corner of the navigator view and select Customize View. This opens a dialog that allows you to choose Filters and Content.

Content

Here you can choose what content should be shown in the navigator.

• Resources: All projects, files and folder (keep this one checked!)
• Working Sets: Allows you to see the working sets as top level elements.
• Simple Context Structure: Lists all contexts of a project.
• Complex Context Structure: Lists all contexts of a project. Contexts that extend another context are attached to it as children in the tree. Contexts that are seen by a machine are attached to the machine as children.
• Simple Machines Structure: Lists all machines of a project.
• Complex Context Structure: Lists all machines of a project. Machines that refine another machine are attached to it as children in the tree.
