Subgraph macros? #6

Open wcroft opened 6 months ago

wcroft commented 6 months ago

I've been using the visualization a lot to select subgraphs for consistency checking with the manual trees. I've been able to produce good subgraphs. A particularly nice subgraph is this one, for complex sentence constructions and their strategies. I created it with the following sequence of actions:

Select Cxn -> Str Select SubtypeOf and ExpressionOf Search on "complex sentence" Select Expand downward Select Expand downward Select Remove unselected

Many other subgraphs required some trial and error, and/or a more complicated sequence of actions. I was wondering if one could save the sequence of actions for a subgraph as a "subgraph macro", which could be named and then used for obtaining the same subgraph in the future.

Interesting, it should be possible using cookies but will involve some work. Have to think about it for a while
