Using the Relationship View Window

For inverse relationships, the relationship line is drawn between the two properties that define that relationship.

For relationships with no inverse, the relationship line is drawn between the property and the class.

The one-to-many and many-to-many relationships are displayed with a line thicker than that between one-to-one relationships.

In the Relationship View window, you can:

• Move any rectangle other than that representing the selected class to suit your own requirements; for example, to make the display more aesthetic for printing purposes.

  The new positions are not saved, and the positions are recalculated every time the graph is redrawn.

• Double-click on a rectangle other than that representing the selected class, to open a new Relationship View window displaying the relationships for the class that represents that selected rectangle.

• Print the relationship graph, by using the Print Selected command from the File menu. The output is printed in landscape format and may be split across multiple pages, if necessary.

• Change the graphical display, by using the View menu commands.
