In Gaudi view a number of controls are shown at the top of the view:
- Anneal (button). When pressed, it jostles the view, permitting trapped notes to get unstuck and thus better reflect their attractant forces, in terms of better clustering
- Force [expression] (input box). A Boolean (query) expression that expresses which notes attract other notes. This is bound in turn to each note, and that to its counterpart. It is best if not every note attracts lots of notes, since that prevents much motion. For example:
$Prototype == $Prototype(that) & $Prototype!=""will cluster together notes that share a common prototype, i.e. have the same $Prototype value.$Color == $Color(that) & $Color!="normal"will cluster together notes of the same colour. - View Size (slider). This adjusts the size of the canvas, allowing you to magnify an area of interest and scroll through the view. Pinch-zoom on a trackpad will also adjust the view size. It maps to normal view magnify/shrink zoom menu options and shortcuts.
- [Title font size] (buttons). Buttons are provided to decrease or increase the size of the title text. This can help with better wrapping of note titles within the note area.
- Roundness (slider). The affects the rounding of the note boundaries. At minimum (left) notes are angular and with straight edges. At maximum (right) notes are more rounded, organic and which may overlap slightly in some cases. At minimum, a boundary line is drawn in the space between notes to clarify the separation of discrete notes.
- Grout (slider).
