Conditions

Use Conditions to set conditional formatting rules for names of Objects, Categories, or Reversed Classifications, for Descriptions, or for nodes in visualisations.

Click the banner icon in the toolbar to open the Conditions settings. Sets of conditions can be stored by using the blue 'save' button. Click the green 'open' button to open a previously stored set of Conditions.

Specify conditions in the 'Name' tab to format the name of an Object, Category or Reversed Classification. Specify conditions in the tab 'Descriptions' to format Descriptions. Specify conditions in the tab 'Nodes' to format nodes in visualisations. Click the green 'add' button to add additional conditions. Click the red 'del' button to remove empty conditions. Click the blue 'filter' button to create a new filter or open an existing filter. If a filter is specified, the condition will only be applied when the filter yields a positive result.

Name  

Select 'Object' to apply the condition to the complete name. Select a Description that is used for the Object Name to apply the condition only to that part of the name. The name or part of the name can be formatted by specifying a 'Background Colour', 'Text Emphasis', and 'Text Colour'. Use Limit Text, Prefix Text, and Affix Text to add or remove text to the name. Specify a regular expression to match and replace pattern occurrences.

Descriptions  

Select a Description on which a condition is to be applied. The Description can be formatted by specifying a 'Background Colour', 'Text Emphasis', and 'Text Colour'. Apply a regular expression to match and replace pattern occurrences. Check the checkbox 'Remove Value' to hide the Description.

Nodes  

In the tab 'Object' you can select 'Object' or a 'Sub-Object' on which the condition is to be applied. In the tab 'Cross-Referencing' you can select a relational Description on which the condition is to be applied. Add a label for a condition to include both the colour and label in the legend of visualisations.

Specify a 'Highlight Colour' that will colour the node. Check the checkbox 'Add value to default or previously set value' to apply multiple conditions to a single node.

Use the 'Weight' section to determine the size and influence of the node. The first input field sets the initial amount. Select a Description that contains a numeric value or an Analysis to use its value and multiply it with the input amount (when set). Check the checkbox 'Add value to default or previously set value' to apply multiple conditions to a single node.

  • Resulting weights will be handled as integers. When using normalised values, make sure to multiply  with a higher input amount to get the lower bound above 1.
  • A weight of 0 will make nodes disappear/irrelevant.
  • When including values, a secondary colour option becomes available in 'Highlight Colour' that allows to specify a lower bound for weighting the colours.

Specify a 'Geometry Colour' or 'Geometry Stroke Colour' that will colour geometrical shapes.  

Upload a SVG file to be shown together with the node. Check the checkbox 'Add value to default or previously set value' to apply multiple conditions to a single node.
