Q: How do I use Graphics Filters?

A:  First you need to make sure they are enabled for this project. Open the Project->Graphical Settings, Filter Tab panel and turn on the "Enable Filters for this project" option.

Then click the Add button to open the "Add a Graphic Filter" dialog:

Add the desired filter criteria and click Okay to finish. Use filters to control the level of detail that is shown on Graphical Views such as Invocation Trees.

Here is a simple example that hides all nodes whose names contain the string "print". The text to match field was set to "*print*" and the action to "Hide Node".

Filters disabled, showing all nodes

Filters enabled, showing notes matching *print* are hidden.
