* Zero or more view objects. View objects are activity diagrams, bar charts, Gantt charts, graphs, reports, and tables.
* View objects at index 0 are global view objects. View objects ad index values above 0 are trace-specific.
View appearance is configurable:
Appearance is configurable:
* The color and positioning of items and what view objects have borders are established when the trace generator is run.
* Once rendered, positioning, theme colors, and use of borders may be changed using settings.
View layout is configurable:
Layout is configurable:
* Select and move items. See keyboard shortcuts for the graph pane.
* Move edges by selecting on them and then dragging their grips.
* Undo/redo movement.
* Use context menus on nodes, edges, and view object regions to manage positioning, visibility, and bordering.
## Navigation Column
The navigation column lists all graphs created by the trace generator. This includes:
* The global graph at index 0 if any global view objects are generated
* Traces and associated trace-specific view objects after index 0.
The traces displayed and the order they are displayed depend on sort and filter settings.
# Example usage
Click on the Open button  and under Open Example | Preloaded Examples select one of the examples, for example select Example 5 Car Race. Choose Scope one  to bound the scope of trace generation to one, then click Run . The MP code text is shown on the left, the selected trace is shown in the middle, and the list of generated traces along with any global view is shown on the right. From here, browse through, sort, and filter generated traces. Click on items in the main graph. Try out the toolbar and menu options. Modify the MP code and re-run the trace generator. Click Help menu  for more information.
Sort:
* Sort by Mark flag, size, probability, and index.
* Sort by numeric attributes in trace SAY blocks.
Filter:
* Filter out unmarked traces.
* Filter out traces that do not match user-defined relationships between events or events that do not meet user-defined recurrence values.
Browse:
* Scroll through traces
* Select traces to display in the main graph
* Each trace shown in the navigation browser includes the trace index, the Type-1 probability if enabled, and the mark flag if marked.
## Log Pane
* The log pane records user actions and results from commands.
## Status Bar
* The status bar displays status of current the user interaction.
# Introductory Example
In this example we open the ASPIRE competency assessment schema from preloaded examples, build traces, and examine content.
1. Start Gryphon
1. Load the Existence of Competency schema (.mp file) from preloaded examples by clicking on the Open button  and selecting "Open Example | Application Examples ASPIRE_Competency_Assessment_Context.mp". When the example loads the .mp text shows up in the code pane.
1. Leaving the Scope at 1  to bound the scope of trace generation to one, click Run . When the run completes:
* The navigation pane shows the available traces.
* The main graph pane shows the view for trace 1.
1. Change preferences, for example select dark mode and increase the size of the main graph area.
1. Change settings, for example select the Navy preset color theme.
1. Work with items in the main graph view:
1. Select multiple items, move them, and use undo to move them back.
1. Right-click the "Employees" root node and select "Collapse".
1. Hover over the "start time" element in the "take AI Test" bar of the Gantt chart to see its actual value.
1. Hide the Gantt chart component using its context menu.
1. Export graph 1 as a .pdf, hint: use "Settings | Themes | Custom theme... Exported Views".
1. Using the navigation pane, select the global graph view.
1. 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.
1. Use the table's context menu to export the table to CSV.
1. 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.
1. 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.
1. Press Return or click outside the whitelist editor to see the updated whitelist.
1. 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.
