File Menu

The File menu provides access to:

Select Source Model Entity Display Preferences. Selecting this menu item pops up a window with the current keywords available for naming source model entities. The keywords available are dependent upon the Language selected in the main window of the RMTool. For example, if the language "C" is selected, the following window may appear:

indicating that the keywords "directory", "file" and/or "function" may be used to name source model entities. A keyword may be toggled on (red box) or off. The information about which keywords are on and off is used to determine the amount of information displayed about source model entities in windows popped-up during a session of the RMTool. The selection only affects windows popped-up after the selection.
Set Graph Configuration File . Selecting this menu item brings up a dialog in which the user may enter the name of a configuration file describing how to display high-level models and reflexion models.
Exit. Selecting this menu item causes the tool to exit. Exiting the tool using this menu item will clean up any temporary files created in the /tmp directory (Unix platforms).

The High-Level Model menu provides access to:

View. Selecting this menu item brings up a graphical display of the high-level model that is specified textually in the High-Level Model file named in the main window of the RMTool. A new window is spawned for the graphical display. Pressing the left mouse button in that window will provide access to a background menu (for printing, etc.).

The Source Model menu provides access to:

Display Source Model Entities. Selecting this menu item pops up a window with a list of all entities in the source model. The kind of information that is displayed may be controlled by setting the Source Model Entity Display Preferences described above.
Typed Input. Selecting this menu item changes the meaning of the Source Model file specified in the main window of the RMTool. When Typed Input is selected, the Source Model file is assumed to contain a specification of the locations of typed source model input. See the Source Model (Typed) information for more details.

The Mapping menu provides access to:

Edit. Selecting this menu item brings up an editor on the Mapping File specified in the main window of the RMTool. The editor used is defined by the EDITOR environment variable.
Display Mapped and Unmapped Entities. Selecting this menu item brings up two windows. One window contains a cross-reference list of the source model entities mapped and their associated high-level model entities. The second window contains a list of all unmapped source model entities. The amount of information displayed may be controlled by setting the Source Model Entity Display Preferences (see above).

The Reflexion Model menu provides access to:

Generate and View. Selecting this menu item computes and displays a Reflexion Model. In the display of the Reflexion Model, the left mouse button may be used to select and perform commands on arcs. The left mouse button may also be pressed in the background of the window to access a background menu.
Edit Annotations. Selecting this menu item brings up an editor on the annotations file. See the page on annotations for more details. The editor is selected based on the value of the EDITOR environment variable.
Clear Annotations. Selecting this menu item erases the annotations file.
Clear Tags. This commands clears the tags file. See the page on tags for more details.
Enable Annotations. This option must be selected (red box) for the annotations file to be considered during the computation of a Reflexion Model.
Quick Tags. This option, when selected (red box), performs tagging based on the names of arcs in the high-level model and does not consider the underlying source model values. See the page on tags for more details.

The Help menu provides a brief description of the menus.
