The style rules allow you to define three
different levels of detail for displaying the nodes and links in a
diagram: high (default), medium, low.
For example, you could define the following
information to be displayed for each detail level:
- High level: the nodes have a fill and a label
- Medium level: the nodes have no fill but they have a label
- Low level: the nodes have no fill and no label
A low level of detail allows you to speed
the rendering of the diagram.
Once these levels have been defined through
the Create Style Rule Wizard and parameterized through the Styling
Customizer, you can switch between them in two different ways:
- By selecting a different level of detail rule in the Style Rules pane
- By choosing a different level of detail in the View>Level of detail submenu.
Only rules that match the selected level of
detail contribute to the customization of the diagram.
A rule that does not define any level of
detail matches all levels of detail.
The level of detail can also be specified through the API with the
setDetailLevel method.
