The Graphs screen displays a list of graph cards representing the graphs available in the Flowlink Cipher database.
The Filter by Graph Title field can be used to search for a specific graph using any of the characters that appear in the graph's name. As characters are entered in the field, the list of available graphs will be filtered. The text is matched to consecutive characters in the graph names. The filter is not case sensitive therefore upper or lower case characters can be entered. The filter terms are remembered when you leave the page and are automatically reapplied if you return. The relevant graph can then be selected from the list. The Clear all filters button can be used to clear the filtering of the graph list.
The header bar above the list of graph cards contains tools that can be used to sort and filter the display of the graph cards.
• Sort by Name: Clicking this button will sort the graph cards alphabetically in ascending order according to the graph titles. Clicking again will switch to descending order.
• Sort by Creation Time: Clicking this button will sort the graph cards in ascending order according to their creation dates. Clicking again will switch to descending order.
• Show Public Graphs: Clicking this button will display or hide the graph cards for public graphs, which are graphs created by other users that are set as being public. Public graphs are hidden by default.
The color of these buttons will change to indicate which tools have been applied.
Below the list is a Results field that reports the number of graphs currently displayed in the list. This number will update as the list is filtered or new graphs are added.
The graph cards provide a preview of the graph and buttons for launching actions on the graph. Below is an example of a graph card.
When the graph is open, it is possible to turn off the graph display and instead display the graph data in a table format. If the graph display is turned off, the graph card will show a generic image of a table instead of the graph preview. This image does not contain any actual data from the graph.
The buttons provided in a graph card are explained below.
Button | Description |
---|---|

Open graph. Click this button to open the graph in the graph view screen. See Graph View for more information on this screen. |
The Graphs page also provides a tool to create new graphs or compute new datasets. Mousing over this tool will cause the button to rotate and display the Create and Compute commands.
1. Click Create a new graph to launch the Create New Graph page. See Configure Graph for more information on this page.
2. Click Compute a new dataset to launch the Compute Datasets page. See Compute Datasets for more information on this page.
