Groupings Widget
The Groupings Widget provides a table of all existing groupings. From within the widget, new groupings can be created, selected in the Graph View, have their name or color changed and deleted.
The widget itself comprises three components: a table listing all existing groupings with their id an color, a toolbar at its top, and a context menu that is shown whenever right-clicking one of the groupings in the table.
The table is the center part of the Grouping Widget and provides an overview of all existing groupings as well as their id and color. The table can be sorted by name as well as id / color and may also be searched using the dedicated search capabilities.
The toolbar on the top of the widget allows the actions Create New Grouping (1), Rename Grouping (2), Change Grouping Color (3), Add Grouping to Selection (4) and Delete Grouping (5) described in more detail below. When clicking on one of the buttons, the respective action is applied to the grouping currently selected within the table.
Right clicking a grouping in the table opens the context menu. It allows the actions Create New Grouping (1), Rename Grouping (2), Change Grouping Color (3), Add Grouping to Selection (4) and Delete Grouping (5).
Overall, the Groupings Widger provides access to all the actions listed below. Some of them are available through the toolbar or the context menu, while others can only be accessed by operating on the table itself.
Creates a new, empty Grouping.
Opens a prompt to change the name of the selected grouping. The new name must be unique.
Opens a prompt to change the color of the selected grouping. The table and the Graph View are updated with the newly chosen color.
Adds all gates, nets and modules associated with the selected grouping to the current selection.
Deletes the selected grouping. Gates, nets and modules associated with this grouping are not deleted.
To find a specific grouping, a filter can be applied to the table. Pressing the shortcut CTRL + F while the widget is focused or left-clicking the magnifying glass in the toolbar of the widget toggles the search bar. As a result, only groupings matching the text in the search bar are shown in the table. The groupings can be filtered by their name. The filter is only active when the searchbar is visible. The magnifying glass in the toolbar changes to a green color to indicate that the filter is active.
By default, the groupings are ordered by their name. The order can be reversed by left clicking the Name header. Left clicking the ID / Color header sorts the groupings by their id / color.
