Introductory Example

Last edited by Allen, Bruce (CIV)

In this example we open the ASPIRE competency assessment schema from preloaded examples, build traces, and examine content.

  1. Start Gryphon
  2. Load the Existence of Competency schema (.mp file) from preloaded examples by clicking on the Open button open and selecting "Open Example | Application Examples ASPIRE_Competency_Assessment_Context.mp". When the example loads the .mp text shows up in the code pane.
  3. Leaving the Scope at 1 scope1 to bound the scope of trace generation to one, click Run run2. When the run completes:
    • The navigation pane shows the available traces.
    • The main graph pane shows the view for trace 1.
  4. Change preferences, for example select dark mode and increase the size of the main graph area.
  5. Change settings, for example select the Navy preset color theme.
  6. Work with items in the main graph view:
    1. Select multiple items, move them, and use undo to move them back.
    2. Right-click the "Employees" root node and select "Collapse".
    3. Hover over the "start time" element in the "take AI Test" bar of the Gantt chart to see its actual value.
    4. Hide the Gantt chart component using its context menu.
    5. Export graph 1 as a .pdf, hint: use "Settings | Themes | Custom theme... Exported Views".
    6. Using the navigation pane, select the global graph view.
    7. Select and drag an edge from one of the activity diagrams to give it multiple bends. Then use its context menu to reset its route. Then use undo/redo using Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Y.
    8. Use the table's context menu to export the table to CSV.
  7. Work with text in the graph pane:
    1. Spellchecker:
      1. Find a word that is flagged as misspelled, double-click on it, right-click to open the edit menu, then add it to the whitelist.
      2. Select and copy all words using Ctrl+A and then Ctrl+C, open the spellchecker whitelist from the menu, click on the whitelist editor, and paste everything in using Ctrl+V.
      3. Press Return or click outside the whitelist editor to see the updated whitelist.
    2. Editing:
      1. Use the Edit menu and code editor keyboard shortcuts table to find access to Find and Replace, auto-complete, and other editing functions.
