Draw Parameter Tree

Keyboard: Alt+P+T

ESTA features a graphical presentation of parameters. Since the values of parameters may be determined using rules, one parameter may depend on a number of others, which themselves may rely on new parameters, etc. These interrelationships can be displayed as a tree for any given parameter.

As an example the boolean parameter nice_parameter defined below will be displayed as shown:

parameter nice_parameter 'it is a nice parameter'

type boolean

rules

true if nice_name and letter_count < 20 or easy_to_use.

The generated tree is displayed in a window. Use the mouse to move around and scroll to see all parts of the tree. Double-clicking on a parameter box will activate an editor window with the parameter definition. The tree will be updated dynamically whenever changes are made to the involved parameters.
