Visual Editor

Tools Add

The Visual Editor tab of the Pattern Editor provides an easy-to-use graphical visualisation of the lexons in the pattern.

It enables the user to browse the lexons from the pattern in a familiar tree-like view. The Norm Tree starts with a root Term located at the left of the view. The root of the tree can easily be changed to another term, to accommodate looking at the pattern from a different perspective.

On the top of the Visual Editor is a tool bar which features some actions that are specific to the Visual Editor. The following table lists the available actions with their corresponding icon and description:
