TITLE           GROUP MODE

OCCURRENCE      ARB_NT and ARB_PARSIMONY: <GROUP> button in the left column
                F3 on the keyboard

DESCRIPTION     A group is a subtree with a name assigned to its root node.

                Collapsed groups are displayed as triangles (or rectangles
                in IRS tree; see LINK{tr_type_irs.hlp}).

                The 'GROUP MODE' allows you to expand or collapse groups
                and to create, rename or destroy groups.

                Click on the <GROUP> button of the 'ARB_NT' window or
                the 'F3' key on the keyboard to activate the 'GROUP
                MODE'. In the latter case, the cursor has to be placed
                within the tree display area.


                Collapse/expand:

                         To collapse a group, either click on the diamond shown at the
                         root of the group, on the group bracket or its name.

                         To expand a group, click on the group triangle or its name.

                Create a group:

                        Click on the root branch of the subtree which shall be grouped.
                        Enter a group name when asked for.

                Destroy / rename / keel-over groups:

                        Select group as described for 'collapse/expand' above, but use the
                        right mouse button. Select the wanted action:

                              * KeelOver: inverts the orientation of LINK{keeled_groups.hlp}
                              * Rename: ask for new name and rename group
                              * Destroy: destroys the groups


NOTES           The lengths of the triangle sides reflect the longest and shortest overall
                branch lengths within the subtree.

                To collapse/expand via keyboard, see LINK{nt_keys.hlp}.

                When changing a keeled into a unkeeled group using KeelOver, that group is
                moved to its parents position. Use LINK{mode_move.hlp} to move the group information
                if that position isn't appropriate in your case.
