Visualize Derivation Relations in Symbol Library (P+ID)

P+ID Library > Symbol > Edit library symbol > Show inheritance graph

Right-click DMO template > Show inheritance graph

You have the option to visualize the derivation relations between data mask objects in a DMO library with the help of inheritance graphs. You can scroll over the inheritance graph and highlight the inheritance paths, starting from the node where the cursor is located, in a different colour. Also, you can define new derivation relations to the current node in the process.

When you call the function, the inheritance graph will appear as shown below:

When you move the cursor to a node, the inheritance paths from this particular node will be highlighted in a different colour.

You can right-click and call the functions Determine base DMOs and Determine derived DMOs. These functions allow you to define further base DMOs or derived DMOs form a particular node, while the inheritance graph will remain visible.

If further base DMOs are to be set, the following arrow will be visible:

If further derived DMOs are to be set, the following arrow will be visible:

Press the middle mouse button or the ESC key to cancel the function.
